• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_NCE_BAS266 - Row &1: invalid number interval limits (To No. is less than From No.) ?

  The SAP error message CNV_NCE_BAS266 indicates that there is an issue with number intervals in a conversion or migration process. Specifically, the error states that the "To No." is less than the "From No." in a specified row, which is not a valid configuration for number ranges.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in scenarios where number ranges are being defined or processed, such as during data migration or conversion activities. The specific cause of this error is:
  
  Invalid Number Range Definition: The "From No." should always be less than or equal to the "To No." in a defined interval. If the "To No." is mistakenly set to a value that is less than the "From No.", the system will throw this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Identify the Row: Check the specific row indicated in the error message (Row &1) to find the problematic number range.
  
  
  Review Number Range Settings: Go to the configuration or data entry screen where the number ranges are defined. Look for the interval that corresponds to the row mentioned in the error.
  
  
  Correct the Values: Ensure that the "From No." is less than or equal to the "To No." Adjust the values accordingly. For example, if you have:
  
  From No.: 100
  To No.: 50
  You need to change the "To No." to a value greater than or equal to 100.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and re-run the process that triggered the error.
  
  
  Test the Changes: It’s a good practice to test the changes in a development or test environment before applying them to production.
  
  
  Related Information:
