• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R5069 - Upper limit must be greater than the lower limit ?

  The SAP error message R5069, "Upper limit must be greater than the lower limit," typically occurs in the context of defining ranges or limits in various SAP transactions or configurations, such as in pricing, inventory management, or reporting.
  Cause:
  This error arises when a user attempts to set a range where the upper limit is less than or equal to the lower limit. For example, if you are defining a range for a pricing condition and you set the lower limit to 100 and the upper limit to 50, SAP will trigger this error because the upper limit cannot logically be less than the lower limit.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Transaction/Configuration: Determine where the error is occurring. This could be in a pricing condition, a report selection screen, or any other area where limits are defined.
  
  
  Check the Values: Review the values you have entered for the lower and upper limits. Ensure that the upper limit is indeed greater than the lower limit.
  
  
  Correct the Values: Adjust the values accordingly. For example, if the lower limit is 100, set the upper limit to a value greater than 100 (e.g., 150).
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and try to execute the transaction again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on where the error occurs, you may be using various transaction codes (e.g., VK11 for pricing conditions, MEK1 for purchasing info records).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working in for more detailed guidance on setting limits.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes in the configuration or transaction where the error is occurring.
  Testing: After making changes, it’s a good practice to test the transaction to ensure that the error is resolved and that the system behaves as expected.
