- Lower limit of creation date must be lower than upper limit ?SAP Error Message:
WES_OUTBOUND057: Lower limit of creation date must be lower than upper limit
Cause:
This error occurs when the selection criteria for a date range in an outbound process (such as IDoc processing, ALE distribution, or data extraction) has an invalid date interval. Specifically, the "lower limit" (start date) of the creation date is set to a date that is not earlier than the "upper limit" (end date). In other words, the system expects the start date to be before the end date, but the user input or program logic has provided a start date that is equal to or later than the end date.
When does it typically occur?
Check the Date Range Input:
2024-04-01
, the "To" date should be 2024-04-02
or later, not 2024-03-31
or 2024-04-01
.Correct the Selection Screen:
Check Program Logic (if custom development):
Re-run the Process:
Incorrect:
From Creation Date = 2024-05-10
To Creation Date = 2024-05-10
(Equal dates cause the error)
Correct:
From Creation Date = 2024-05-09
To Creation Date = 2024-05-10
(Lower limit is less than upper limit)
If you continue to face issues after correcting the date range, check for:
Summary:
The error WES_OUTBOUND057
is caused by an invalid date range where the start date is not earlier than the end date. Correct the date inputs to ensure the lower limit is less than the upper limit to resolve the issue.
