• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS385 - Enter a payer from (&) less than or equal to (&) ?

  The SAP error message:
  WS385: Enter a payer from (&) less than or equal to (&)
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you enter a range of payer numbers in a selection screen or input field, and the starting payer number (the "payer from") is greater than the ending payer number (the "payer to"). In other words, the system expects the "from" value to be less than or equal to the "to" value, but the input violates this rule.
