• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM013 - Error: FROM value for field & is greater than TO value ?

  The SAP error message RSM013 indicates that there is an issue with the range of values defined for a field in a selection screen or report. Specifically, it means that the "FROM" value for a particular field is greater than the "TO" value, which is logically incorrect. This error typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to filter data based on a range, such as dates, numbers, or other comparable fields.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a misconfiguration in the input values for a selection screen. For example:
  
  If you are entering a range for a date field, you might have entered a later date in the "FROM" field and an earlier date in the "TO" field.
  Similarly, for numeric fields, entering a higher number in the "FROM" field than in the "TO" field will trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSM013 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Input Values: Review the values you have entered in the selection screen. Ensure that the "FROM" value is less than or equal to the "TO" value.
  
  
  Correct the Values: If you find that the "FROM" value is greater than the "TO" value, correct it by swapping the values or adjusting them to ensure the logical order is maintained.
  
  
  Re-run the Report: After making the necessary corrections, re-run the report or transaction to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Field Types: Be aware of the data types of the fields you are working with (e.g., date, numeric, character) as this can affect how you enter values.
  Validation Rules: Some SAP transactions may have built-in validation rules that enforce the correct order of values. Familiarize yourself with these rules to avoid similar errors in the future.
  User Training: If this error occurs frequently, consider providing training or documentation for users to help them understand how to correctly enter ranges in selection screens.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSM013 error and successfully execute your report or transaction in SAP.
