  Review Configuration Settings: If the threshold values are being set through configuration settings (e.g., in customizing), check the relevant configuration to ensure that it does not allow negative values.
  
  
  Validate Business Logic: If the threshold is being calculated or derived from other values, ensure that the logic does not inadvertently result in a negative value. Adjust the calculations as necessary.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific module you are working with to understand the expected range of values for thresholds.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes in a development or test environment to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
