• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD1A031 - Set for entity type &1: Range boundaries have the same value &2 ?

  The SAP error message USMD1A031 indicates that there is an issue with the range boundaries for a specific entity type in the Master Data Governance (MDG) application. The error message states that the range boundaries have the same value, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you are trying to define a range for a field in a data model where the lower and upper boundaries of the range are set to the same value. For example, if you are trying to set a range for a numeric field and both the minimum and maximum values are set to 100, this will trigger the error because a range cannot have the same start and end point.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration of the entity type mentioned in the error message and ensure that the range boundaries are defined correctly. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Entity Type: Look at the error message to identify which entity type (denoted by &1) is causing the issue.
  
  
  Check Range Definitions: Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP MDG where the range for the entity type is defined. This could be in the data model or in the specific field settings.
  
  
  Modify Range Values: Ensure that the lower and upper boundaries of the range are different. For example, if the range is defined as 100 to 100, change it to a valid range like 99 to 100 or 100 to 101.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to execute the process again that was causing the error.
  
  
  Test the Configuration: After making the changes, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
