• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /OSP/MSG177 - Value range can be entered only if condition is Between or Not-Between ?

  The SAP error message /OSP/MSG177 Value range can be entered only if condition is Between or Not-Between typically occurs in the context of using selection criteria in reports or queries where a value range is specified. This error indicates that the system expects a specific condition to be used when entering a range of values.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a user tries to enter a value range (e.g., a minimum and maximum value) but has not selected the appropriate condition that allows for such input. In SAP, when you want to specify a range of values, you must use the conditions "Between" or "Not-Between." If a different condition is selected (like "Equal to" or "Not equal to"), the system will not accept the range input and will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Condition: Ensure that you have selected the correct condition for your input. If you are entering a range of values, you should select either "Between" or "Not-Between."
  
  
  Adjust Input Fields: If you have already selected a condition that does not allow for a range (like "Equal to"), change it to "Between" or "Not-Between" and then re-enter your values.
  
  
  Review Documentation: If you are unsure about the conditions available for a specific field, refer to the SAP documentation or help text associated with that field for guidance.
  
  
  Test the Input: After making the changes, test the input again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  Related Information:
