The SAP error message
/SDF/IVIS_DC_MSG109 Selection period - from & to &
typically relates to issues with the selection period in a specific SAP application, often in the context of data processing or reporting. This error indicates that the selection period defined by the user is either invalid or not properly set.Cause:
- Invalid Date Range: The "from" date is later than the "to" date, which creates an invalid selection period.
- Date Format Issues: The dates may not be in the expected format, leading to misinterpretation by the system.
- Missing Dates: One or both of the date fields may be left blank, which is not acceptable for the operation being performed.
- System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict the selection period based on business rules or data availability.
Solution:
- Check Date Inputs: Ensure that the "from" date is earlier than the "to" date. Correct any discrepancies.
- Verify Date Format: Make sure that the dates are entered in the correct format as required by the SAP system (e.g., DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY).
- Fill in Missing Dates: If either date field is blank, fill in the required dates to define a valid selection period.
- Consult Documentation: Review any relevant SAP documentation or user guides for the specific transaction or report you are using to ensure compliance with expected input formats.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
