This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of thresholds for a KPI.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  A KPI is configured to use thresholds, but the first threshold value has not been explicitly defined.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Define Threshold Values:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the specific KPI that is causing the error.

  Check for Other Configuration Issues:
  
  Ensure that all other required fields in the KPI configuration are filled out correctly.
  Review any related documentation or guidelines for setting up KPIs in your specific SAP version, as there may be additional requirements.
