• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C0805 - The maximum number of lines must be greater than the minimum number ?

  The SAP error message C0805, "The maximum number of lines must be greater than the minimum number," typically occurs in the context of configuration settings or data entry where a range of values is defined, such as in pricing conditions, material master data, or other similar scenarios.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the system detects that the maximum value set for a certain parameter (like the number of lines, quantities, etc.) is less than or equal to the minimum value. For example, if you have defined a minimum number of lines as 5 and a maximum number of lines as 3, the system will throw this error because the maximum cannot logically be less than or equal to the minimum.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration or data entry where this error is occurring. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Configuration or Data Entry: Determine where the error is occurring. This could be in a pricing condition, material master, or any other relevant area.
  
  
  Check Minimum and Maximum Values: Look for the fields that define the minimum and maximum values. Ensure that the maximum value is greater than the minimum value.
  
  
  Adjust Values: If you find that the maximum value is less than or equal to the minimum value, adjust the values accordingly. For example, if the minimum is set to 5, ensure that the maximum is set to a value greater than 5 (e.g., 6 or higher).
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to execute the transaction again.
  
  
  Testing: After making the changes, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on where the error occurs, you may need to use specific transaction codes to access the relevant configuration settings (e.g., SPRO for configuration, MM01 for material master).
