• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB747 - Entered value is too small (minimum &2) ?

  The SAP error message DB747 "Entered value is too small (minimum &2)" typically occurs when a value entered in a field does not meet the minimum requirement defined for that field in the database. This error is often related to numeric fields where the value must be greater than or equal to a specified minimum.
  Cause:
  
  Field Constraints: The field has a defined minimum value that must be adhered to, and the value you entered is below this threshold.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that define minimum values for certain fields, which you may not be aware of.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Minimum Value: Review the field documentation or configuration to determine the minimum value allowed for the field. Ensure that the value you are entering meets or exceeds this minimum.
  Adjust Input Value: Modify the value you are trying to enter to ensure it is within the acceptable range.
  Field Type Verification: Ensure that the data type of the value you are entering matches the expected data type of the field.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the minimum value or the field's requirements, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP administrator for clarification.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the program to see where the value is being validated and what the minimum value is set to.
