  The SAP error message FICO1080, which states "Lower/upper limit allowed only for tiered/interval/scaled calculation," typically occurs in the context of configuring pricing or calculation rules in SAP, particularly within the Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO) modules. This error indicates that there is an attempt to set lower or upper limits on a calculation that does not support such limits.
