• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB239 - Enter ascending values ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W_CB239 - Enter ascending values
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically appears when you enter values in a selection screen or a range where the system expects the values to be in ascending order, but the input values are not. For example, if you enter a range of document numbers, dates, or any other interval, the "From" value must be less than or equal to the "To" value. If the "From" value is greater than the "To" value, SAP issues this warning.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When specifying selection criteria with intervals (ranges) in reports, transactions, or input fields.
  When the lower limit of a range is greater than the upper limit.
  Common in selection screens for reports, batch input sessions, or data extraction where ranges are used.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the input values in the selection screen or range fields.
  Ensure that the "From" value is less than or equal to the "To" value.
  Correct the values so that they are in ascending order.
  Re-execute the transaction or report.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This is a warning message (W), so it does not stop the process but prompts the user to correct the input.
  If you want to suppress this warning (not recommended), it can be handled in the program by adjusting the message control or by correcting the input logic.
  This message is part of the standard SAP message class CB (which often relates to batch input or selection criteria).
  
  
  Example:
  If you enter a date range as:
  
  From Date: 31.12.2023
  To Date: 01.01.2023
  
  SAP will show message W_CB239 because 31.12.2023 is after 01.01.2023, which is not ascending.
