  Cause:
  This error usually arises when:
  
  Date Conflict: The "Valid-to" date you are trying to set for an employee's position or assignment is earlier than the last assignment date recorded in the system. This means that the system is trying to assign a position or role that is not valid anymore because the date you are trying to set is in the past relative to the last assignment.

  Adjust Dates: Ensure that the "Valid-to" date you are trying to set is later than the last assignment date. If you need to change the assignment, you may need to extend the "Valid-to" date or adjust the dates of the existing assignments accordingly.
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: If there was an error in entering the dates, correct the data entry to reflect the accurate dates.
  
  
  Consult with HR or SAP Support: If you are unsure about the correct dates or how to proceed, consult with your HR department or SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to view and edit the employee's data.
