• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW808 - The lower limit cannot be greater than the upper limit ?

  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW808 indicates that there is an issue with the data limits defined in a Data Migration project using the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW). Specifically, the error states that the lower limit cannot be greater than the upper limit, which typically occurs when defining ranges for data selection or processing.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises from one of the following scenarios:
  
  Incorrect Range Definition: When defining a range for a field in the LSMW project, the lower limit (minimum value) is set to a value that is greater than the upper limit (maximum value).
  Data Mapping Issues: If there are issues in the mapping of fields where the values are incorrectly assigned or transformed, it can lead to this error.
  Configuration Errors: There may be configuration settings in the LSMW project that are incorrectly set, leading to this inconsistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Range Definitions:
  
  Go to the LSMW project and check the field mappings and ranges defined for the data you are trying to process.
  Ensure that for every range defined, the lower limit is less than or equal to the upper limit.
  
  
  
  Review Data Mapping:
  
  Review the mapping of the fields in the LSMW project. Ensure that the values being mapped do not lead to a situation where the lower limit exceeds the upper limit.
  If you are using any transformation rules, verify that they are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you have any configuration settings that define limits or ranges, review and adjust them as necessary to ensure they are logically consistent.
  
  
  
  Test with Sample Data:
  
  After making adjustments, test the LSMW project with a small set of sample data to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, consult the SAP documentation or help resources related to LSMW for further guidance on range definitions and data migration processes.
