• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RA671 - Threshold value for RED->YELLOW cannot be lower than for YELLOW->GREEN ?

  The SAP error message RA671 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the threshold values set for the traffic light system in the SAP system, specifically in the context of project management or reporting. This error typically arises when the thresholds for different statuses (RED, YELLOW, GREEN) are not set correctly, leading to a logical inconsistency.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the threshold value for transitioning from RED to YELLOW is set lower than the threshold value for transitioning from YELLOW to GREEN. In other words, the system expects that the thresholds should be in a logical order where:
  
  RED (critical) should have a higher threshold value than YELLOW (warning).
  YELLOW should have a higher threshold value than GREEN (normal).
  
  If this order is violated, the system cannot determine the correct status, leading to the RA671 error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the threshold values in the configuration settings. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP where the thresholds are defined. This is usually found in the project management or reporting settings.
  
  
  
  Check Current Threshold Values:
  
  Review the current threshold values for RED, YELLOW, and GREEN. Make a note of the values.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Thresholds:
  
  Ensure that the threshold for RED is greater than the threshold for YELLOW, and the threshold for YELLOW is greater than the threshold for GREEN. For example:
  
  RED threshold: 80
  YELLOW threshold: 50
  GREEN threshold: 0
  
  
  Adjust the values accordingly to maintain this order.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes in the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Run a test to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the traffic light system is functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Traffic Light System: This system is often used in project management to provide a visual representation of project status. The colors indicate different levels of risk or performance.
  Threshold Values: These are numerical values that determine the boundaries for each status. They are critical for effective monitoring and reporting.
  SAP Documentation: For more detailed information, refer to the SAP Help Portal or specific documentation related to your SAP module (e.g., SAP Project System, SAP Controlling).
  
  If you continue to experience issues after making these adjustments, consider consulting with your SAP administrator or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP configuration.
