  Enter Lower Interval Boundary:
  
  Navigate to the relevant screen where the error occurred.
  Look for the field labeled "Lower Interval Boundary" or similar.
  Enter a valid value for the lower boundary. This value should logically correspond to the context of your planning or allocation (e.g., it could be a minimum cost, quantity, or other relevant metric).
  
  
  
  Check Related Fields: Ensure that any related fields (like upper boundary) are also filled out correctly, as they may be interdependent.
