• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GR385 - You cannot enter a to-level which is smaller than the from-level ?

  The SAP error message GR385 ("You cannot enter a to-level which is smaller than the from-level") typically occurs in the context of inventory management or goods movement processes, particularly when dealing with hierarchical structures such as storage locations, bins, or other organizational units.
