• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SIC_FM_CONFIG103 - Threshhold for possible match must be lower than for definite match ?

  The SAP error message SIC_FM_CONFIG103 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the threshold settings for matching in the SAP system, specifically in the context of duplicate check or data matching functionalities. This error typically arises when the threshold for a possible match is set higher than the threshold for a definite match, which is logically incorrect.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Configuration Error: The thresholds for possible matches and definite matches are incorrectly set in the configuration settings. The threshold for a possible match should always be lower than that for a definite match.
  Data Quality Issues: If the thresholds are set based on incorrect assumptions about the data quality, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you need to adjust the threshold settings in the configuration. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SICF or SICF Configuration in your SAP system.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings for the matching process (this could be in the context of duplicate checks, data matching, etc.).
  
  
  
  Adjust Threshold Values:
  
  Locate the settings for the thresholds for possible matches and definite matches.
  Ensure that the threshold for possible matches is set to a value lower than that of definite matches. For example, if the definite match threshold is set to 80%, the possible match threshold should be set to a value less than 80% (e.g., 70%).
  
  
  
  Save the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Run a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the matching functionality works as expected.
