  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB238 - Enter descending values ?
    SAP Error Message:
    W_CB238 - Enter descending values
    
    
    Cause: This warning message typically appears when you enter values in a selection screen or a range where the "From" value is greater than the "To" value. In other words, the system expects a range with ascending values (e.g., 100 to 200), but you have entered them in descending order (e.g., 200 to 100).
