• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG068 - Cardinality lower limit must not be greater than the upper limit ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG068 indicates that there is an issue with the cardinality settings in your SAP system, specifically in the context of defining relationships between entities in the data model. Cardinality refers to the number of instances of one entity that can or must be associated with instances of another entity. 
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the lower limit of cardinality is set to a value that is greater than the upper limit. For example, if you have defined a relationship where the lower limit is set to 2 and the upper limit is set to 1, this creates a logical inconsistency, as you cannot have more instances than allowed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the cardinality settings in the relevant data model or configuration. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Access the Data Model: Go to the relevant data model or configuration where the cardinality is defined.
  
  
  Check Cardinality Settings: Look for the relationship that is causing the error. Verify the lower and upper limits of cardinality.
  
  
  Adjust the Limits: Ensure that the lower limit is less than or equal to the upper limit. For example:
  
  If the lower limit is set to 2, change it to 1 or 0.
  If the upper limit is set to 1, ensure the lower limit is not greater than 1.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  Test the Configuration: Run a test to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the data model behaves as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Cardinality Definitions: Familiarize yourself with the definitions of cardinality in the context of your specific SAP module (e.g., SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW, etc.).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on how to define relationships and cardinality in your specific environment.
  SAP Community: If you continue to face issues, consider reaching out to the SAP Community forums or support for additional assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SDDL_PARSER_MSG068 error and ensure that your cardinality settings are correctly configured.
