• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EBR301 - Material selection range: upper limit must be greater than lower limit ?

  The SAP error message EBR301, which states "Material selection range: upper limit must be greater than lower limit," typically occurs in the context of material selection ranges in various SAP modules, such as SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) or during configuration of material master records.
  Cause:
  This error arises when you are trying to define a range for material selection, and the upper limit of that range is not greater than the lower limit. This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Material Master Configuration: When setting up material selection criteria, if the upper limit is mistakenly set to a value that is less than or equal to the lower limit.
  Warehouse Management: When defining storage types or other parameters that require a range of materials, the limits are incorrectly defined.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors where the values for the upper and lower limits are swapped or incorrectly input.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EBR301 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area where the material selection range is defined.
  Verify the values for the upper and lower limits. Ensure that the upper limit is indeed greater than the lower limit.
  
  
  
  Correct the Values:
  
  If you find that the upper limit is less than or equal to the lower limit, correct the values accordingly.
  For example, if the lower limit is set to 100 and the upper limit is set to 100, change the upper limit to a value greater than 100 (e.g., 101).
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to execute the process again that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After correcting the limits, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the material selection works as intended.
