• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6B035 - Enter the first day of the month as "from date" ?

  The SAP error message 6B035 indicates that the system expects the "from date" to be the first day of the month. This error typically occurs in scenarios where date inputs are required, such as in reports, transactions, or data entry forms.
