• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RP806 - Lower value must be greater than previous higher value ?

  The SAP error message RP806 ("Lower value must be greater than previous higher value") typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or when defining wage types, particularly when setting up ranges for wage types or other related configurations. This error indicates that there is a logical inconsistency in the values defined for a certain parameter, where a lower value is incorrectly set to be less than or equal to a previously defined higher value.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Value Ranges: The error usually arises when you are trying to define a range of values (for example, in a wage type configuration) where the lower limit is not greater than the upper limit of the previous range.
  Data Entry Errors: It can also occur due to manual data entry mistakes, where the values are incorrectly inputted.
  Configuration Issues: If the configuration of wage types or other related settings is not done correctly, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Value Ranges: Review the configuration settings for the wage types or parameters where the error is occurring. Ensure that the lower value is indeed greater than the previous higher value.
  Correct Data Entry: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, correct the values in the relevant configuration or master data.
  Review Previous Entries: Look at the previous entries or ranges defined to ensure that they are logically consistent and that the new entry does not violate the defined ranges.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on setting up wage types or the relevant configuration to ensure compliance with the required structure.
  Testing: After making corrections, test the changes in a development or test environment before applying them to the production environment to ensure that the error is resolved.
