This is a validation check to ensure that operations are performed in the correct chronological order.
  Cause:

  Check Dates: Review the dates associated with the order number mentioned in the error message. Ensure that the date you are trying to use for the operation is not earlier than the order date.
  Reverse/Delete Previous Transactions: If you need to perform an operation on the order, you may need to first reverse or delete any subsequent transactions that are causing the date conflict. This may involve:
  
  Finding and reversing any goods movements, invoices, or other related documents that were created after the order.
  Deleting or reversing the last transaction that is causing the conflict.
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: If the dates were entered incorrectly, correct them in the relevant transactions or orders.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling order-related transactions to ensure compliance with business processes.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with a functional expert who can provide guidance based on your specific configuration and business processes.
