• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRANA_KPI_MD007 - You have specified two thresholds; select a color order of three colors ?

  The SAP error message HRANA_KPI_MD007 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of thresholds in a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) within the SAP system. Specifically, the error states that you have specified two thresholds but have not selected a color order that corresponds to three colors.
  Cause:
  In SAP, when configuring KPIs, you can set thresholds that determine how the KPI values are visually represented (e.g., using colors). Typically, if you define two thresholds, the system expects a color order that includes three colors to represent the ranges of values:
  
  Below the first threshold (first color)
  Between the first and second thresholds (second color)
  Above the second threshold (third color)
  
  If you only specify two thresholds but do not provide a corresponding three-color order, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that you have defined a color order that matches the number of thresholds you have set. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the KPI Configuration: Go to the relevant transaction or configuration area where you can edit the KPI settings.
  
  
  Check Thresholds: Verify the thresholds you have set. If you have two thresholds, you should have a color order that includes three colors.
  
  
  Define Color Order:
  
  If you have two thresholds, you can define a color order like this:
  
  Color 1: For values below the first threshold.
  Color 2: For values between the first and second thresholds.
  Color 3: For values above the second threshold.
  
  
  Make sure to select the appropriate colors for each range.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  Test the KPI: After saving, test the KPI to ensure that it displays correctly without any errors.
