  The SAP error message ABAP_TIMEFM002 indicates that the time value 24:00:00 is not permitted in the context where it is being used. In SAP, time values are typically represented in a 24-hour format, but the valid range for time values is from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59. The value 24:00:00 is not considered a valid time representation.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A time value of 24:00:00 is being assigned or processed in a program, function module, or transaction where only valid time values are accepted.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Change the Time Value: Replace any instance of 24:00:00 with 00:00:00 of the next day. For example, if you are trying to represent the end of a day, you can adjust your logic to use 00:00:00 of the following day.
  
  
  Check Input Data: If the time value is coming from user input or external data, ensure that the input validation checks for valid time formats and corrects any instances of 24:00:00.
  
  
  Modify Code: If this error is occurring in custom ABAP code, locate the part of the code where the time value is being set or processed and make the necessary adjustments.
