• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OK002 - Interval entry not allowed on this screen ?

  The SAP error message "OK002: Interval entry not allowed on this screen" typically occurs when you are trying to enter a range of values (an interval) in a field that does not support such input. This can happen in various transactions or reports where the system expects a single value instead of a range.
  Cause:
  
  Field Restrictions: The field you are trying to enter data into is designed to accept only single values, not ranges. For example, if you are in a selection screen where a field is meant for a single material number, entering a range (like 1000-2000) will trigger this error.
  Incorrect Input Format: The input format may not match the expected format for that field. For instance, if the field is expecting a numeric value and you enter a string or a range, it can lead to this error.
  Screen Configuration: The screen or transaction you are using may have been configured to restrict interval entries for specific fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Requirements: Review the documentation or help text for the transaction or report you are using to understand the expected input format. Ensure you are entering a single value where required.
  Modify Input: Instead of entering a range, provide a single value that meets the criteria of the field. For example, if you need to filter by a material number, enter just one material number instead of a range.
  Consult with SAP Support: If you believe that the field should allow interval entries based on your business requirements, consult with your SAP administrator or support team. They may need to adjust the screen configuration or provide guidance on how to achieve your goal using a different approach.
  
  Related Information:

  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the correct input methods for the specific transactions they are using to minimize the occurrence of this error.
