This typically occurs in scenarios involving date ranges, such as in employee data management, time management, or other modules where date validity is crucial.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  The "from" date you have entered is earlier than the date specified by the system (the &1 placeholder).

  Check the Date Input: Review the "from" date you have entered. Ensure that it is equal to or later than the date indicated by the system (the &1 value).

  Review Related Data: If the date is derived from other data (like employee start dates, contract dates, etc.), ensure that those dates are also valid and correctly configured.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the expected date range or the context of the error, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or user guides for the specific module you are working with.
