  The SAP error message /ACCGO/TSDB226 Enter the effective end date typically occurs in the context of managing time series data or master data in SAP, particularly when dealing with time-dependent data entries. This error indicates that the system requires an effective end date to be specified for a particular record or entry.
  Cause:
  
  Missing End Date: The most common cause of this error is that the user has not provided an effective end date for a time-dependent record. In SAP, many master data records require both a start date and an end date to define the validity period of the data.
  Incorrect Data Entry: The user may have entered data in a way that the system expects an end date but it was not provided.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that require an end date for certain types of records, and these settings may not be aligned with the data being entered.
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter Effective End Date: The immediate solution is to go back to the transaction or screen where the error occurred and enter a valid effective end date for the record in question. Ensure that the end date is later than the start date.
  Check Data Entry: Review the data entry process to ensure that all required fields, including the effective end date, are filled out correctly.
  Review Configuration: If the error persists, it may be necessary to review the configuration settings related to the specific module or data type you are working with. Consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to ensure that the settings are appropriate for your business processes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the transaction or module you are using, as there may be additional requirements or best practices to follow.
