  Check Existing Records: Review the existing records for the object you are trying to modify. Ensure that the end date you are entering matches the end date of the existing record.
  Correct Data Entry: If you find a discrepancy, correct the end date you are trying to enter to match the existing record.
  Review Business Logic: If you are unsure why the end dates should match, consult your business process documentation or speak with a functional consultant to understand the business logic behind this requirement.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to view and edit employee records, and check the validity of the end dates.
  Consult with IT Support: If you believe the error is due to a system issue or if you cannot find the conflicting record, reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
