• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSD_MESSAGE232 - Lower limit &1 of material group is greater than upper limit &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE232: Lower limit &1 of material group is greater than upper limit &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when defining or maintaining material group ranges in SAP, specifically in the configuration or master data where you set limits for material groups. The system expects the lower limit of a material group range to be less than or equal to the upper limit.
  If the lower limit value entered is greater than the upper limit value, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistent or invalid range definitions.
  
  Where it typically occurs:
  
  When maintaining material group intervals in customizing (SPRO) or master data.
  During configuration of material group hierarchies or number ranges.
  In transaction codes related to material master or classification where ranges are defined.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the values entered for the material group range:
  
  Ensure that the lower limit is numerically less than or equal to the upper limit.
  For example, if the lower limit is 1000, the upper limit should be 1000 or greater (e.g., 2000).
  
  
  
  Correct the entries:
  
  Go back to the screen where you maintain the material group ranges.
  Adjust the lower and upper limits so that the lower limit is not greater than the upper limit.
  
  
  
  Save the corrected data:
  
  After correction, save the entries.
  The error should no longer appear.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This validation is a standard check to maintain data integrity.
  Material groups are often used for classification, reporting, and controlling purposes, so correct range definitions are critical.
  If you are unsure about the correct ranges, consult your business process owner or configuration guide.
  Sometimes, this error can also appear if the fields are swapped by mistake (upper limit entered in the lower limit field and vice versa).
