  The SAP error message LTR2_BASIS_CHECK314 with the description "Range value &1 exceeds the defined length of &2" typically occurs when there is an issue with the length of a value being processed in a range condition, such as in selection criteria or filters in a report or transaction.
  Cause:
  This error is usually caused by one of the following:
  
  Data Length Mismatch: The value you are trying to input or process exceeds the maximum length defined for that particular field in the database or data structure.
  Incorrect Data Entry: Users may have entered a value that is too long for the expected field length.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the data model or the way the data is being handled in the application.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Field Length: Identify the field that is causing the issue and check its defined length in the data dictionary (SE11). Ensure that the value you are trying to input does not exceed this length.
  
  
  Adjust Input Values: If you are manually entering data, ensure that the values you are entering conform to the expected length. If the value is coming from a program or report, check the logic to ensure it is not generating values that exceed the defined length.
  
  
  Modify Data Model: If necessary and appropriate, consider modifying the data model to increase the length of the field if the business requirements demand it. This should be done with caution and typically requires a change request and proper testing.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: If the error occurs during a selection or filtering operation, review the criteria being used to ensure they are valid and within the expected limits.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, you can debug the program to find out where the value is being set and why it exceeds the defined length.
