• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UGX4017 - &1: The "From" value &2 is greater than the "To" value &3 ?

  The SAP error message UGX4017 indicates that there is an issue with the range of values specified in a selection screen or report. Specifically, it states that the "From" value is greater than the "To" value, which is logically incorrect in most contexts where a range is expected.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in scenarios where a user is trying to define a range for a selection criterion, such as dates, quantities, or other numerical values. The error arises when the user inputs a "From" value that is greater than the corresponding "To" value. For example:
  
  If a user is trying to filter records between two dates and enters "2023-10-10" as the "From" date and "2023-10-01" as the "To" date, this will trigger the UGX4017 error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  Check Input Values: Review the values entered in the selection screen. Ensure that the "From" value is less than or equal to the "To" value.
  Correct the Values: If you find that the "From" value is indeed greater than the "To" value, correct it by entering appropriate values that maintain the logical order.
  Validation: After making corrections, re-run the report or transaction to see if the error persists.
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Input Validation: It is a good practice to implement input validation in custom reports or transactions to prevent users from entering invalid ranges.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific transactions or reports to understand the expected input formats and constraints.
  SAP Notes: If the error persists or if you believe it is due to a bug, check SAP Notes for any related issues or patches that may address the problem.
  
  By ensuring that the "From" value is always less than or equal to the "To" value, you can avoid encountering the UGX4017 error in SAP.
