  Check Consent Record: Review the consent record in question to understand its current state and the intended changes.
  Set Initial Values: If the consent record is being created or updated, ensure that the initial values for the end of validity date are set correctly. If it should have a defined end date, make sure to specify it during the creation or update process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines related to consent management to ensure compliance with the expected data handling practices.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application logic to manage cases where the end of validity date is initially empty. This may involve setting a default value or preventing updates until the record is in a valid state.
