• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RA670 - Threshold value for YELLOW->GREEN cannot be higher than for RED->YELLOW ?

  The SAP error message RA670 indicates an issue with the configuration of threshold values in the context of performance management or reporting, particularly in relation to the traffic light system (red, yellow, green) used for visualizing key performance indicators (KPIs).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the threshold values for the color coding of performance indicators are incorrectly set. Specifically, the threshold value for transitioning from yellow to green is set higher than the threshold value for transitioning from red to yellow. This creates a logical inconsistency because it implies that a value that is considered acceptable (yellow to green) is actually worse than a value that is considered critical (red to yellow).
  Example:
  
  Red to Yellow Threshold: 50
  Yellow to Green Threshold: 60
  
  In this case, the yellow to green threshold (60) is higher than the red to yellow threshold (50), which is not allowed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the threshold values so that the yellow to green threshold is less than or equal to the red to yellow threshold. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  
  Access the Configuration: Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP where the thresholds are set. This could be in the context of a specific report, KPI, or performance management tool.
  
  
  Review Current Thresholds: Check the current values for the red to yellow and yellow to green thresholds.
  
  
  Adjust Values: Change the yellow to green threshold to a value that is less than or equal to the red to yellow threshold. For example:
  
  Set the red to yellow threshold to 50.
  Set the yellow to green threshold to 50 or any value less than 50.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes.
  
  
  Test the Configuration: Run the report or KPI again to ensure that the error message no longer appears and that the thresholds are functioning as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to performance management and KPI configuration for more detailed guidance on setting thresholds.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  User Forums: Consider visiting SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  By ensuring that the threshold values are logically consistent, you can avoid this error and ensure that your performance indicators are accurately represented.
