• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IR052 - Upper meas. range limit must be greater than lower meas. range limit ?

  The SAP error message IR052, which states "Upper meas. range limit must be greater than lower meas. range limit," typically occurs in the context of creating or modifying measurement documents or measurement points in SAP, particularly in the area of plant maintenance or asset management.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the upper measurement range limit is set to a value that is less than or equal to the lower measurement range limit. In other words, the system is trying to validate the measurement range, and it finds that the defined limits do not make logical sense.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the upper measurement range limit is greater than the lower measurement range limit. Here are the steps to correct the issue:
  
  
  Access the Measurement Document or Point:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction in SAP where you are encountering the error (e.g., IW21, IW22 for work orders, or other relevant transactions).
  
  
  
  Check Measurement Ranges:
  
  Locate the fields for the lower and upper measurement range limits.
  Verify the values entered in these fields.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Values:
  
  If the upper limit is less than or equal to the lower limit, change the values so that the upper limit is greater than the lower limit.
  For example, if the lower limit is set to 10, the upper limit should be set to a value greater than 10 (e.g., 15, 20, etc.).
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to proceed with the transaction again.
