• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5G383 - Mother death date cannot be before delivery date ?

  The SAP error message 5G383, which states "Mother death date cannot be before delivery date," typically occurs in the context of managing data related to personnel or organizational records, particularly in modules dealing with employee life events, such as HR or payroll.

  Check the Dates: Review the dates entered for both the mother’s death and the delivery. Ensure that the death date is set to a date that is on or after the delivery date.
  
  
  Correct the Data: If the dates are incorrect, update the records accordingly. This may involve:
  
  Changing the mother’s death date to a valid date.
  If the delivery date is incorrect, update it to reflect the accurate date of birth.
  
  
  
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks in your data entry processes to prevent this error from occurring in the future. This can include setting up rules that automatically check the relationship between these dates.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to make these changes, refer to your organization's SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator or support team for guidance.
