• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRANA_KPI_MD014 - Second threshold value must be greater than the first threshold value ?

  The SAP error message HRANA_KPI_MD014 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of threshold values in a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) within the SAP system. Specifically, the error states that the second threshold value must be greater than the first threshold value. This is a common validation check to ensure that the thresholds make logical sense.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the threshold values defined for a KPI are incorrectly set. For example, if you have defined:
  
  First Threshold: 50
  Second Threshold: 30
  
  In this case, the second threshold (30) is not greater than the first threshold (50), which violates the logical requirement for threshold definitions.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the threshold values in the KPI configuration. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Access the KPI Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or configuration area in SAP where the KPI is defined. This could be in the SAP HCM module or a specific KPI management area.
  
  
  
  Review the Threshold Values:
  
  Locate the section where the threshold values are defined. Check the values for the first and second thresholds.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Values:
  
  Ensure that the second threshold value is greater than the first threshold value. For example, if the first threshold is 50, the second threshold should be set to a value greater than 50 (e.g., 60).
  
  
  
  Save the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the KPI:
  
  Run the KPI again to ensure that the error message no longer appears and that the KPI functions as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or provide additional context regarding KPI configurations.
  User Forums: Consider visiting SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  By ensuring that the threshold values are set correctly, you can avoid this error and ensure that your KPIs are functioning as intended.
