  The SAP error message 5Y114 indicates that there is an issue with the validity dates specified in a transaction or configuration. Specifically, it states that the "Validity from" and "Validity to" dates must be within the same month and year. This error typically occurs in scenarios where date ranges are defined, such as in master data maintenance, pricing conditions, or other configuration settings.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  The "Validity from" date is set to a date in one month and the "Validity to" date is set to a date in a different month or year.
  For example, if the "Validity from" date is set to January 15, 2023, and the "Validity to" date is set to February 10, 2023, this will cause the error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that both dates are set within the same month and year. Here are the steps to correct the issue:
  
  Check the Dates: Review the "Validity from" and "Validity to" dates in the relevant transaction or configuration screen.
  Adjust the Dates: Modify either the "Validity from" or "Validity to" date so that both dates fall within the same month and year. For example:
  
  If the "Validity from" date is January 15, 2023, you could set the "Validity to" date to January 31, 2023.
  Alternatively, if you need a longer validity period, you could change the "Validity from" date to February 1, 2023, and keep the "Validity to" date as February 10, 2023.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and re-attempt the transaction.
  
  Related Information:
