• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SRC231 - Error in scales: ProcRelationId/Counter &1 : VAL_FROM > VAL_TO ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SRC231 indicates that there is an issue with the scales defined in the process relationship for a specific procedure in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). The error message specifically states that the value for VAL_FROM is greater than VAL_TO, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to incorrect configuration in the process relationship settings. The scales are used to define the relationship between different processes, and they must be set up correctly to ensure that the values make logical sense. The error suggests that there is a misconfiguration where the starting value (VAL_FROM) of a scale is greater than the ending value (VAL_TO), which violates the expected range.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Process Relationship Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the transaction where you can view and edit the process relationships (usually in the APO system).
  Look for the specific process relationship identified by ProcRelationId and Counter &1 in the error message.
  
  
  
  Review Scale Definitions:
  
  Examine the scales defined for the process relationship. Ensure that for each scale, the VAL_FROM is less than or equal to VAL_TO.
  If you find any scales where VAL_FROM is greater than VAL_TO, correct these values to ensure they are in the correct order.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the process relationship.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After saving, test the process to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the process relationship behaves as expected.
