• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTI055 - Yellow limit must be less than red limit ?

  The SAP error message FTI055, which states "Yellow limit must be less than red limit," typically occurs in the context of financial or controlling modules where thresholds for certain key performance indicators (KPIs) or metrics are being defined. This error indicates that the configuration for the limits set for a particular metric is incorrect, specifically that the yellow limit (warning threshold) is not less than the red limit (critical threshold).
  Cause:
  The error arises when the user attempts to set up or modify the limits for a KPI in such a way that the yellow limit is equal to or greater than the red limit. This is logically incorrect because the yellow limit is intended to serve as a warning threshold, while the red limit indicates a critical situation that requires immediate attention.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the limits so that the yellow limit is always less than the red limit. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in SAP where the limits are set. This could be in the context of a specific report, KPI, or financial metric.
  
  
  
  Review the Limits:
  
  Check the current values set for the yellow and red limits. Identify the values that are causing the error.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Limits:
  
  Modify the yellow limit to ensure it is less than the red limit. For example, if the red limit is set to 100, the yellow limit should be set to a value less than 100 (e.g., 90).
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and exit the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Run the relevant report or transaction again to ensure that the error message no longer appears and that the limits are functioning as intended.
