• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE512 - With &, only options EQ, BT, LE and GE are supported ?

  The SAP error message KE512 indicates that there is an issue with the selection criteria used in a report or transaction related to controlling (CO) data. Specifically, the error message states that only certain operators are supported for the selection of certain fields, and in this case, it mentions that only the options EQ (equal), BT (between), LE (less than or equal), and GE (greater than or equal) are valid.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs when:
  
  An invalid operator is used in a selection criterion for a report or transaction in the CO module.
  The field being filtered does not support the operator that has been specified.
  There may be a misunderstanding of the data types or the expected input for the selection criteria.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KE512 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you are using in the report or transaction. Ensure that you are only using the supported operators (EQ, BT, LE, GE) for the relevant fields.
  
  
  Modify the Input: If you are using an unsupported operator (like NE for not equal, or any other operator), change it to one of the supported options.
  
  
  Field Compatibility: Ensure that the field you are trying to filter is compatible with the operators you are using. For example, if you are filtering on a numeric field, make sure you are not trying to use string comparison operators.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for the specific report or transaction you are using to understand the valid selection options.
  
  
  Test with Simple Criteria: If you are unsure about the correct criteria, start with a simple selection (e.g., using EQ) and gradually add complexity to identify where the issue arises.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
