• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRFAC_IMPL003 - Parameter start > end: &1 > &2 ?

  The SAP error message SRFAC_IMPL003, which states "Parameter start > end: &1 > &2," typically occurs in the context of data processing or selection ranges where a start value is greater than an end value. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when defining ranges for selection criteria in reports, data extraction, or other operations that involve specifying a range of values.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an incorrect configuration or input where the starting parameter (e.g., a date, number, or other range value) is greater than the ending parameter. For example, if you are trying to select records between two dates and the start date is later than the end date, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check Input Values: Review the values you have entered for the parameters. Ensure that the start value is less than or equal to the end value.
  
  
  Correct the Range: If you are using a selection screen or input fields, adjust the values accordingly. For example, if you have:
  
  Start Date: 2023-10-15
  End Date: 2023-10-10
  You should change the End Date to a later date, such as 2023-10-20.
  
  
  
  Validation Logic: If you are developing or customizing a report or program, consider adding validation logic to check the values before processing them. This can help prevent the error from occurring in the first place.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the expected input values or the context in which the error occurs, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or help resources for guidance.
