• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PORD_MESSAGES032 - Upper Boundary is less than the Lower Boundary in the selection criteria. ?

  The SAP error message PORD_MESSAGES032 indicates that there is an issue with the selection criteria in a report or transaction where the upper boundary value is less than the lower boundary value. This typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to filter data based on a range of values, such as dates, quantities, or other numerical fields.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You have defined a range for a selection criterion (e.g., a date range or quantity range).
  The upper limit (maximum value) is set to a value that is less than the lower limit (minimum value).
  
  For example:
  
  If you are filtering by a date range and you set the start date (lower boundary) to January 1, 2023, and the end date (upper boundary) to December 31, 2022, this will trigger the error because the end date is earlier than the start date.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check the Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you have entered in the report or transaction.
  Correct the Values: Ensure that the upper boundary value is greater than or equal to the lower boundary value. Adjust the values accordingly.
  Re-run the Report/Transaction: After making the necessary corrections, re-run the report or transaction to see if the error persists.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Validation: Always validate the input values before executing reports or transactions that involve ranges.
  User Input: If the selection criteria are being entered by users, consider implementing input validation checks to prevent this error from occurring in the first place.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific reports or transactions to understand the expected input formats and constraints.
  
  If the issue continues after checking the values, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific transaction or report you are using.
