• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 60840 - Completion date must be after start of construction ?

  The SAP error message 60840, "Completion date must be after start of construction," typically occurs in the context of project management or construction-related modules within SAP, such as SAP Project System (PS) or SAP Real Estate Management (RE).
  
  Cause:
  This error arises when there is an inconsistency in the dates entered for a project or construction order. Specifically, it indicates that the completion date you have specified is earlier than the start date of the construction or project. This is logically incorrect, as a project cannot be completed before it has started.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check Dates: Review the start and completion dates you have entered for the project or construction order. Ensure that the completion date is set to a date that is after the start date.
  
  
  Adjust Dates: If the completion date is indeed earlier than the start date, adjust the completion date to a later date that makes sense
