• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message V_OPS_SE_SLS020 - Upper Boundary is less than the Lower Boundary in the selection criteria. ?

  The SAP error message V_OPS_SE_SLS020 indicates that there is an issue with the selection criteria in a report or transaction where the upper boundary value is less than the lower boundary value. This typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to filter data based on a range, such as dates, quantities, or other numerical values.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the user inputs a range of values for selection criteria, and the upper limit is incorrectly set to a value that is less than the lower limit. For example:
  
  If you are trying to filter sales orders between a start date of 2023-01-01 and an end date of 2022-12-31, this would trigger the error because the end date (upper boundary) is earlier than the start date (lower boundary).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Input Values: Review the selection criteria you have entered. Ensure that the upper boundary value is greater than or equal to the lower boundary value.
  
  
  Correct the Range: If you find that the upper boundary is indeed less than the lower boundary, correct the values. For example, if you are filtering by date, ensure that the end date is after the start date.
  
  
  Validation: After making the corrections, re-run the report or transaction to see if the error persists.
  
  
  User Training: If this error occurs frequently, consider providing training or guidelines to users on how to correctly input selection criteria.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: This error can occur in various transaction codes that involve selection criteria, such as sales order reports, inventory reports, etc.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message, as there may be known issues or enhancements that could affect how selection criteria are processed.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with (e.g., SD for Sales and Distribution) for more details on how to properly set selection criteria.
  
  By ensuring that the upper boundary is always greater than or equal to the lower boundary, you can avoid encountering this error in the future.
