• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO203 - Fixed value range(s) define(s) a single value ?

  The SAP error message DO203 ("Fixed value range(s) define(s) a single value") typically occurs in the context of data validation or configuration settings, particularly when working with fixed value ranges in SAP. This error indicates that the defined fixed value range is not set up correctly, leading to a situation where it effectively represents a single value rather than a range.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The fixed value range may have been defined incorrectly, such that the lower and upper limits are the same, which means it does not represent a range but a single value.
  Data Entry Error: During data entry or configuration, the values may have been entered incorrectly, leading to a situation where the range is invalid.
  Business Logic: The business logic or rules defined in the system may not allow for a single value to be treated as a range.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Fixed Value Ranges: Check the configuration of the fixed value ranges in the relevant transaction or configuration settings. Ensure that the lower and upper limits are set correctly to define a valid range.
  Adjust Values: If the fixed value range is intended to represent multiple values, adjust the upper and lower limits accordingly. For example, if the range is defined as 10 to 10, change it to 10 to 20 if you want to include more values.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly define fixed value ranges.
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
