• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TF026 - Specify account interval in ascending order ?

  The SAP error message TF026: "Specify account interval in ascending order" typically occurs when you are trying to define an account interval in a configuration setting, such as in the context of financial accounting or controlling, and the intervals you have specified are not in the correct order.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the account intervals you are trying to set are not in ascending order. For example, if you have defined an interval starting from account 1000 to 2000 and then another interval starting from 1500 to 2500, this would cause the error because the second interval overlaps with the first and is not in ascending order.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all account intervals are defined in ascending order without any overlaps. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Review Account Intervals: Go through the account intervals you have defined and check their order. Make sure that each subsequent interval starts after the previous one ends.
  
  
  Adjust Intervals: If you find any intervals that are not in ascending order or that overlap, adjust them accordingly. For example:
  
  Change intervals from:
  
  Interval 1: 1000 to 2000
  Interval 2: 1500 to 2500
  
  
  To:
  
  Interval 1: 1000 to 1499
  Interval 2: 1500 to 2500
  
  
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and try to execute the transaction again.
