• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CC_2012062 - Ensure that the upper time is equal to or higher than the lower time ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_CC_2012062 – Ensure that the upper time is equal to or higher than the lower time
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a time interval is defined incorrectly in SAP, specifically when the "upper time" (end time) is set to a value that is less than the "lower time" (start time). In other words, the system expects the end time of a time range or period to be the same as or later than the start time, but the input violates this rule.
  This situation commonly arises in scenarios involving:
  
  Time-dependent conditions or pricing procedures
  Validity periods for master data or condition records
  Scheduling or time interval entries in various SAP modules (e.g., SD, MM, PP)
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Time Interval Entries:
  
  Review the time intervals you have entered.
  Ensure that the "upper time" (end time) is equal to or greater than the "lower time" (start time).
  
  
  
  Correct the Time Values:
  
  If the end time is earlier than the start time, adjust it to a valid value.
  For example, if the start time is 10:00, the end time should be 10:00 or later (e.g., 10:30, 11:00).
  
  
  
  Validate the Data Input Screen:
  
  If the error occurs during data entry, check the relevant fields for time intervals.
  Make sure no typos or incorrect values are entered.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or User Exits (if applicable):
  
  If this error arises from custom developments or enhancements, verify that the logic handling time intervals correctly validates the time ranges.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is a standard SAP consistency check to prevent illogical time intervals.
  It is often seen in modules like Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), or Production Planning (PP) when defining condition records, scheduling agreements, or time-dependent master data.
  The message text is usually displayed in the context of condition maintenance or scheduling screens.
  If you are unsure where the error is triggered, check the transaction or process step where you input time intervals.
  SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific module or transaction may provide additional guidance.
