• 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).
  For example, if you are entering a date range or a numeric range, the start value should be less than or equal to the end value. If the start value is greater, SAP issues this warning to alert you that the range is logically incorrect.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the input values: Verify the "From" and "To" fields in the selection screen or input form.
