• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >U072 - Interval &: Upper limit must come before next upper limit ?

  The SAP error message U072 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of intervals in a certain context, typically related to the definition of ranges or limits in a system. This error usually arises when the upper limit of one interval is not less than the upper limit of the next interval, which violates the expected order of intervals.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You have defined multiple intervals (for example, in a pricing procedure, tax calculation, or any other configuration that uses ranges).
  The upper limit of one interval is greater than or equal to the upper limit of the subsequent interval, which creates a logical inconsistency.
  
  Example:
  If you have defined the following intervals:
  
  Interval 1: 0 to 100
  Interval 2: 100 to 200
  Interval 3: 150 to 250
  
  In this case, the upper limit of Interval 2 (200) is not less than the upper limit of Interval 3 (150), which causes the error.
  
  Solution:
