• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WI110 - Lower limit of date is greater than upper limit of date ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WI110 - Lower limit of date is greater than upper limit of date
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a date range is specified incorrectly in a selection screen, report, or transaction. Specifically, the "From" date (lower limit) entered is later than the "To" date (upper limit). SAP expects the lower limit date to be earlier than or equal to the upper limit date.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In many SAP transactions or reports, you are required to enter a date range to filter data.
  The system validates that the start date (lower limit) is not after the end date (upper limit).
  If the start date is greater than the end date, SAP throws the WI110 error to prevent illogical or invalid date ranges.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Date Range Input:
  
  Review the dates entered in the selection screen or input fields.
  Ensure that the "From" date is earlier than or equal to the "To" date.
  
  
  
  Correct the Dates:
  
  Swap the dates if they are reversed.
  Enter a valid date range where the start date = end date.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Transaction or Report:
  
  After correcting the dates, execute the transaction or report again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in reports, workflows, or any SAP module where date ranges are used (e.g., MM, SD, FI).
  Sometimes, the error can occur due to default values or programmatic date assignments in custom developments or user exits.
  If the error persists despite correct input, check for:
  
  User exits or enhancements that manipulate date fields.
  Custom validations or BAdIs that might be enforcing additional date checks.
  System date settings or user-specific defaults.
  
  
  
  
  Example Scenario:
  
  You enter:
  
  From Date: 31.12.2023
  To Date: 01.01.2023
  
  
  Since 31.12.2023 > 01.01.2023, SAP throws WI110.
  Correct by entering:
  
  From Date: 01.01.2023
  To Date: 31.12.2023
  
  
  
  
  If you need help identifying where the incorrect date input is coming from, you can debug the program or check the selection screen fields related to date inputs.
