  The SAP error message CONSENT_MANAGEMENT108 indicates that there is a validation issue related to consent management. Specifically, the error states that for a given consent (identified by &1), a certain field (&2) must have a value that is less than another field (&3). This typically occurs in scenarios where consent data is being processed or validated, such as when managing user consents for data processing under regulations like GDPR.
  Cause
  The error is caused by a violation of a business rule or validation check that requires one field to be less than another. This could happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Date Fields: If the fields in question are dates (e.g., start date and end date), it could mean that the end date is earlier than the start date.
  Numeric Fields: If the fields are numeric values, it could indicate that a limit or threshold is not being respected.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Identify the Fields: Check the specific fields mentioned in the error message (&2 and &3). Understand what these fields represent in the context of the consent record.
  
  
  Review Data: Look at the data entered for these fields. Ensure that the value in field &2 is indeed less than the value in field &3. If they are dates, ensure that the start date is before the end date.
  
  
  Correct the Values: If you find that the values are incorrect, update them accordingly. This may involve:
  
  Changing the dates to ensure the correct order.
  Adjusting numeric values to meet the required conditions.
  
  
  
  Revalidate: After making the necessary changes, attempt to save or process the consent record again to see if the error persists.
