• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EWA769 - Threshold value WARNING for value definition &1 must be lower then ERROR ?

  The SAP error message EWA769 indicates that there is a configuration issue with the threshold values set for a specific value definition in the EarlyWatch Alert (EWA) report. This message specifically states that the warning threshold must be lower than the error threshold for the defined value.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the configuration for the thresholds in the EWA report is set incorrectly. Specifically, the warning threshold is set to a value that is equal to or greater than the error threshold. This violates the logical structure of threshold definitions, where a warning should indicate a less severe condition than an error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to adjust the threshold values in the configuration settings. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the EWA Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code RZ20 or RZ21 in your SAP system.
  Navigate to the relevant EWA configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Locate the Value Definition:
  
  Identify the specific value definition that is causing the warning. This will be indicated in the error message as &1.
  
  
  
  Adjust Threshold Values:
  
  Check the current settings for the warning and error thresholds.
  Ensure that the warning threshold is set to a value lower than the error threshold. For example, if the error threshold is set to 100, the warning threshold should be set to a value less than 100 (e.g., 90).
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the configuration.
  
  
  
  Re-run the EWA Report:
  
  After adjusting the thresholds, re-run the EWA report to ensure that the error message no longer appears.
