• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AP239 - For operator &1 entry allowed only in 'from' field ?

  The SAP error message AP239 ("For operator &1 entry allowed only in 'from' field") typically occurs in the context of using selection criteria in reports or queries, particularly when defining ranges for data selection. This error indicates that there is an issue with how the selection criteria are set up, specifically regarding the use of operators in the selection fields.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by using an operator (like >, <, =, etc.) in a field where it is not allowed. In SAP, certain operators can only be used in the "from" field of a selection range. For example, if you are trying to set a range for a date or a numeric field, you should only specify the operator in the "from" field and not in the "to" field.
  Solution:
  To resolve the AP239 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you have set up in your report or transaction. Ensure that you are using the correct operators in the appropriate fields.
  
  
  Correct Usage of Operators:
  
  If you are defining a range, make sure that the operator is only specified in the "from" field.
  For example, if you are selecting a range of dates, you should enter the start date in the "from" field and the end date in the "to" field without any operators.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Input: If you find that you have mistakenly entered an operator in the "to" field or in a field where it is not allowed, remove it and adjust your input accordingly.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, run the report or transaction again to see if the error persists.
