  The SAP error message OIUT2816 "Invalid range ending value for & & & &" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Oil and Gas (O&G) module, particularly when dealing with master data or transaction data that involves ranges, such as pricing, quantities, or dates.
  Cause:
  The error indicates that there is an issue with the range values specified in a selection screen or a data entry field. Specifically, it suggests that the ending value of a range is either:
  
  Less than the starting value: This is the most common cause, where the user has entered a range that does not make logical sense (e.g., a range from 10 to 5).
  Invalid data type: The ending value may not conform to the expected data type (e.g., entering a string where a number is expected).
  Out of allowed limits: The ending value may exceed the maximum allowed value for that field.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the OIUT2816 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Range Values: Review the values you have entered for the range. Ensure that the ending value is greater than or equal to the starting value.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to the relevant SAP documentation or help files for the specific field or transaction you are working with to understand the valid range and data types.
  
  
  Test with Valid Values: Try entering a simple, valid range to see if the error persists. For example, if you are entering a range of numbers, try using a range like 1 to 10.
  
  
  Check for Customizations: If your SAP system has customizations or enhancements, check if any custom logic might be affecting the range validation.
