• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CME_DTYPE122 - Value &: time > '24:00:00' is not possible ?

  The SAP error message CME_DTYPE122 indicates that a time value entered in a field exceeds the valid range for time values in SAP, specifically stating that the time cannot be greater than '24:00:00'. This error typically occurs in contexts where time is being recorded or processed, such as in time management, scheduling, or data entry forms.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by entering a time value that is not valid. In SAP, time values are usually expected to be in the format of HH:MM:SS, where:
  
  HH (hours) should be between 00 and 23.
  MM (minutes) should be between 00 and 59.
  SS (seconds) should be between 00 and 59.
  
  A value like '24:00:00' is not considered valid because it exceeds the maximum allowable hour value.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Input Value: Review the time value you are trying to enter. Ensure that it is within the valid range. For example, if you need to represent the end of a day, use '23:59:59' instead of '24:00:00'.
  
  
  Adjust Time Calculations: If the time value is being calculated or derived from other data, ensure that any calculations do not result in a value exceeding '23:59:59'.
  
  
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks in your data entry forms or processes to prevent users from entering invalid time values.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the valid time formats or the context in which you are working, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Time Formats: Familiarize yourself with the expected formats for time entries in SAP to avoid similar errors in the future.
  User Training: Providing training for users on how to correctly enter time values can help reduce the occurrence of this error.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your applications or processes to catch and manage such errors gracefully.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the input values, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.
