• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KA395 - Interval limit & must not be smaller than the current row number ?

  The SAP error message KA395, which states "Interval limit & must not be smaller than the current row number," typically occurs in the context of controlling or cost center accounting when you are trying to define or manipulate intervals in a report or a planning scenario. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the defined intervals and the current row number being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Interval Definition: The intervals defined in your planning or reporting scenario may not align with the data being processed. For example, if you have defined an interval that starts at a higher row number than the current row, this error will occur.

  Solution:
  
  Review Interval Definitions: Check the intervals you have defined in your planning layout or report. Ensure that the starting and ending limits of the intervals are correctly set and that they encompass the current row number.
  Adjust Row Numbers: If you are manually entering data or adjusting rows, ensure that the row numbers are correctly aligned with the defined intervals.
  Check for Data Consistency: Ensure that the data being processed is consistent and that there are no gaps or overlaps in the intervals that could lead to this error.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to set up intervals correctly in your specific context (e.g., cost center planning, internal orders).
  Testing: If you have made changes, test the scenario again to see if the error persists. If it does, further investigation into the specific configuration or data may be necessary.
