• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ME094 - Please enter reminder levels in ascending order ?

  The SAP error message ME094 ("Please enter reminder levels in ascending order") typically occurs when you are trying to set up reminder levels for a purchasing document, such as a purchase order or a scheduling agreement, and the levels you have entered are not in the correct ascending order.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the reminder levels (which are used to remind the buyer about outstanding purchase orders) are not entered in a strictly increasing sequence.

  Edit Reminder Levels: Ensure that the reminder levels are entered in ascending order. For example, if you want to set levels at 1, 2, and 3, make sure they are entered as such.
