• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FC143 - Specify account interval in ascending order ?

  The SAP error message FC143, which states "Specify account interval in ascending order," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or configurations where account intervals are defined. This error indicates that the account intervals you have specified are not in the correct ascending order, which is a requirement for certain financial processes in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Incorrect Order of Account Ranges: When defining account ranges (for example, in a financial report or during the configuration of a financial transaction), the ranges must be specified in ascending order. If the starting point of a subsequent range is less than or equal to the ending point of the previous range, this error will occur.

  Solution:
  To resolve the FC143 error, follow these steps:
  
  Review Account Intervals: Go to the configuration or transaction where you defined the account intervals. Check the list of account ranges you have entered.
  Ensure Ascending Order: Make sure that each account range is defined in ascending order. For example:
  
  Correct: 1000 - 1999, 2000 - 2999
  Incorrect: 2000 - 2999, 1000 - 1999
  
  
  Adjust Ranges: If you find any ranges that are not in ascending order, adjust them accordingly. Ensure that the starting account of each range is greater than the ending account of the previous range.
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and try to execute the transaction again.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on where you are encountering this error, you may be using transaction codes like OB40 (for defining account ranges) or FS00 (for creating or changing G/L accounts).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific guidelines on defining account intervals and ranges.
  Testing: After making changes, it is advisable to test the configuration in a development or test environment before applying it to production.
