• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS041 - Max. target range of cov. must exceed or equal min target range of cov. ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_ARTICLE_SCREENS041 Max. target range of cov. must exceed or equal min target range of cov.
  Cause:
  This error occurs when defining or maintaining target ranges for coverage (cov.) in article master data or related planning settings, where the maximum target range value is set to be less than the minimum target range value. Essentially, the system expects the maximum value of the target range to be greater than or equal to the minimum value, but the entered data violates this rule.
  This typically happens in:
  
  Assortment planning
  Article planning parameters
  Coverage settings in forecasting or replenishment
  Target range definitions in planning screens or customizing
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the target range values you have entered for coverage in the relevant screen or customizing node.
  Ensure that the maximum target range value is greater than or equal to the minimum target range value.
  Correct the values accordingly:
  
  If the minimum target range is, for example, 5, the maximum target range must be = 5.
  
  
  Save the corrected data.

  Article master data (e.g., coverage parameters)
  Planning profiles or planning parameters in customizing
  Assortment planning screens or planning books
