• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_BUPA_BSP010 - Validity start date before issue date ?

  The SAP error message COM_BUPA_BSP010 indicates that there is a validity start date that is set before the issue date in a business partner (BUPA) context. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or update a business partner record, and the system detects that the validity period is not logically consistent.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following conditions:
  
  The validity start date (the date from which the business partner data is valid) is earlier than the issue date (the date when the business partner record was created or modified).

  Check Dates: Review the validity start date and the issue date in the business partner record. Ensure that the validity start date is not earlier than the issue date.
  
  
  Adjust Dates: If the validity start date is indeed earlier than the issue date, you will need to adjust it:
  
  Change the validity start date to a date that is equal to or later than the issue date.
  Alternatively, if the issue date is incorrect, you may need to correct it to reflect the appropriate date.
  
  
  
  Re-enter Data: If you are entering data manually, ensure that you are entering the dates in the correct order and format.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct dates to use, consult your organization's documentation or guidelines regarding business partner data management.
