• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RFM_ALIGNMENT023 - Horizon days From value must be less than the To value. ?

  The SAP error message RFM_ALIGNMENT023 indicates that there is an issue with the "Horizon days" values in a configuration or transaction where the "From" value is not less than the "To" value. This typically occurs in scenarios involving planning, forecasting, or alignment processes where a range of days is specified.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the user inputs a range of days for a planning horizon, and the "From" value is greater than or equal to the "To" value. For example, if the "From" value is set to 10 days and the "To" value is set to 5 days, the system will trigger this error because it does not make logical sense for the starting point of a range to be greater than or equal to the endpoint.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the "From" value is always less than the "To" value. Here are the steps to correct the issue:
  
  
  Access the Configuration/Transaction: Go to the specific configuration or transaction where you encountered the error.
  
  
  Check the Horizon Days Values: Look for the fields labeled "From" and "To" for the horizon days.
  
  
  Adjust the Values:
  
  Ensure that the "From" value is set to a number that is less than the "To" value.
  For example, if the "From" value is currently set to 10, you might change it to 5, and ensure the "To" value is set to a number greater than 5 (e.g., 10).
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to execute the transaction or process again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with (e.g., SAP Integrated Business Planning, SAP S/4HANA) for more details on planning horizons and configuration settings.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the configuration settings.
  Testing: After making changes, it is advisable to test the configuration in a development or test environment before applying it to production to ensure that it behaves as expected.
  
  If the issue persists after making the adjustments, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
