• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SV034 - 'To' value must be greater than 'from' value ?

  The SAP error message SV034, which states "To value must be greater than From value," typically occurs in scenarios where a range of values is being defined, such as in selection screens, parameter entries, or configuration settings. This error indicates that the "To" value specified is not greater than the "From" value, which is a requirement for the system to process the input correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Input: The most common cause is that the user has entered the "To" value as less than or equal to the "From" value.
