• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PQ814 - The last range must finish with 0% ?

  The SAP error message PQ814, which states "The last range must finish with 0%," typically occurs in the context of defining a range of values for a characteristic in a classification system, particularly when working with variant configuration or classification in SAP.
  Cause:
  This error arises when you are trying to define a range of percentages for a characteristic, and the last entry in that range does not end with 0%. In SAP, when defining ranges for characteristics, the last value must always be 0% to indicate the end of the range. This is a requirement for the system to correctly interpret the ranges and apply them in calculations or configurations.
  Solution:
  To resolve the PQ814 error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Characteristic Definition: Go to the characteristic definition in the classification system where the error occurred.
  
  
  Review the Ranges: Look at the defined ranges for the characteristic. Ensure that the last range ends with 0%. For example, if you have defined ranges like:
  
  0% to 50%
  51% to 100%
  You need to ensure that the last range is defined correctly, such as:
  51% to 100%
  100% to 0% (or simply ensure that the last defined range is 0%).
  
  
  
  Adjust the Ranges: If the last range does not end with 0%, modify it to ensure it does. You may need to add a new range that explicitly ends with 0% if necessary.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to execute the transaction again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CT04 (to create or change characteristics) or CL02 (to change class) to access the relevant settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on defining characteristics and ranges.
  Testing: After making changes, it’s a good practice to test the configuration to ensure that it behaves as expected without triggering any further errors.
