• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RP807 - Higher value must be lower than next lower value ?

  The SAP error message RP807 ("Higher value must be lower than next lower value") typically occurs in the context of payroll or compensation management when there is an issue with the configuration of pay scales, wage types, or other related structures. This error indicates that there is a problem with the hierarchical structure of values, where a higher value is incorrectly set to be greater than or equal to the next lower value in a defined range.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Pay Scale Configuration: The pay scale or wage type configuration may have been set up incorrectly, where the values do not follow the required hierarchical order.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can lead to incorrect values being inputted into the system.
  Changes in Pay Structures: If there have been recent changes to pay structures or scales, the new values may not align correctly with existing ones.
  Customizations or Enhancements: Custom developments or enhancements in the payroll module may inadvertently cause conflicts in value hierarchies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Pay Scale Configuration: Check the configuration of the pay scale or wage type in the SAP system. Ensure that the values are set correctly and that each higher value is indeed lower than the next higher value.
  
  Use transaction codes like PE01 (for pay scale maintenance) or SPRO (for configuration settings) to review and adjust the settings.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entries: If the error is due to incorrect data entries, correct the values in the relevant infotypes (e.g., infotype 0008 for basic pay).
  
  
  Check for Consistency: Ensure that all related configurations are consistent. For example, if you have multiple pay scales, ensure that they are aligned correctly.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error does not reoccur. Use transaction PC00_MXX_CALC to simulate payroll calculations and verify that the values are processed correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version you are using for any known issues or additional guidance.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.
