• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LXDCK017 - Default Release Time value must exceed Default Latest Release Time value ?

  The SAP error message LXDCK017 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the release times in the context of the Logistics Execution (LE) module, specifically in the area of delivery processing. This error occurs when the "Default Release Time" is set to a value that is not greater than the "Default Latest Release Time." 
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system checks the configuration settings for release times and finds that the "Default Release Time" is either equal to or less than the "Default Latest Release Time." This is logically incorrect because the default release time should always be set to a point in time that is later than the latest release time.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Access the Configuration Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration path, typically found under:
  Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions -> Delivery -> Define Default Values for Delivery
  
  
  
  
  Check the Release Time Settings:
  
  Look for the fields related to "Default Release Time" and "Default Latest Release Time."
  Ensure that the value set for "Default Release Time" is greater than the value set for "Default Latest Release Time."
  
  
  
  Adjust the Values:
  
  If the "Default Release Time" is not greater, modify it to a suitable value that exceeds the "Default Latest Release Time."
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the delivery processing works as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on configuring delivery settings and understanding the implications of release times.
