• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CACSBAS767 - Start and end date may not be the same ?

  The SAP error message CACSBAS767 indicates that the start and end dates for a particular process or transaction cannot be the same. This error typically arises in scenarios where a time period is expected, such as in planning, scheduling, or reporting functions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system requires a time interval to be defined, meaning that the start date must be earlier than the end date. If both dates are set to the same value, the system cannot process the request because it does not make sense to have a duration of zero.

  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Dates: Review the start and end dates you have entered. Ensure that the start date is earlier than the end date.
  
  
  Adjust the Dates: Modify either the start date or the end date to create a valid time interval. For example, if both dates are set to January 1, 2023, change the end date to January 2, 2023, or the start date to December 31, 2022.
  
  
  Validation: After making the changes, validate the input to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
