The SAP error message
/AIF/COMPRESS_MSGS024 Select a valid time range
typically occurs in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) when users are trying to filter or query messages based on a time range that is either invalid or not properly defined.Cause:
Invalid Time Range: The time range specified in the selection criteria may not be valid. This could be due to:
- The start date/time being later than the end date/time.
- The format of the date/time not being recognized by the system.
- The time range being outside the permissible limits set in the system.
Empty Fields: If the fields for the start and end time are left empty or not filled correctly, the system will not be able to process the request.
System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in AIF that restrict the time range for message processing.
Solution:
Check Date/Time Format: Ensure that the date and time are entered in the correct format as expected by the system. Typically, this would be in the format
YYYY-MM-DD
for dates andHH:MM:SS
for times.Validate Time Range: Make sure that the start date/time is earlier than the end date/time. Adjust the values accordingly.
Fill in Required Fields: Ensure that both the start and end date/time fields are filled in. If you are unsure, try using a broader time range to see if the error persists.
Review System Settings: If the issue continues, check with your SAP Basis or AIF administrator to see if there are any specific configurations or restrictions in place regarding time ranges.
Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for AIF to understand any specific requirements or limitations regarding time range selection.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
