• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WY032 - Enter a sub-range ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WY032 - Enter a sub-range
  
  Cause:
  The error message WY032 - Enter a sub-range typically occurs in SAP when a user is required to specify a sub-range of values for a selection field or parameter but has not done so. This often happens in selection screens or reports where the system expects a range (from-to) or a subset of values to process, but the input is missing or incomplete.
  For example, if a report or transaction expects you to enter a range of document numbers, dates, or material numbers, and you leave the range fields empty or enter invalid values, the system prompts you to enter a valid sub-range.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During selection screen input for reports or transactions.
  When a range or interval is mandatory but not provided.
  When a user tries to execute a process that requires filtering by a sub-range but the input is missing or incorrect.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter a valid sub-range:
  
  On the selection screen, provide a valid range in the "From" and "To" fields for the parameter that requires it. For example, if the system asks for a range of document numbers, enter the starting document number in the "From" field and the ending document number in the "To" field.
  
  
  Check mandatory fields:
  
  Ensure that all mandatory fields related to ranges or intervals are filled correctly.
  
  
  Use single values if allowed:
  
  If the system allows, you can enter the same value in both "From" and "To" fields to specify a single value as a sub-range.
  
  
  Check for input errors:
  
  Make sure the values entered are valid and exist in the system (e.g., valid document numbers, dates, or material numbers).
  
  
  Consult documentation or help:
  
  Sometimes the selection screen has help or F1 help on the fields explaining the expected input format.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is a standard SAP message related to selection screen validations.
  It is often seen in logistics modules (MM, SD, FI) when running reports or batch jobs.
  The message class is usually WY which relates to workflow or selection screen validations.
  If the error persists despite entering values, check for custom validations or user-exits that might enforce additional input rules.
  
  
  Example:
  If you run a report to list purchase orders and the selection screen asks for a range of purchase order numbers, leaving these fields blank and executing the report will trigger WY032. Entering a valid range like:
  
  Purchase Order From: 4500000010  
  Purchase Order To: 4500000050  
  
  will resolve the error.
