• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_DWP108 - Enter a start and end time for the availability description ?

  The SAP error message CRM_DWP108 indicates that when you are trying to create or modify an availability description in the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, you have not provided both a start time and an end time. This is a common requirement in systems that manage scheduling or availability, as it is essential to define a clear time frame for the availability being described.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The fields for start time and end time are either left blank or not filled in correctly.
  The format of the time entered may not be recognized by the system.
  There may be a validation rule that requires both times to be entered before proceeding.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  Check Input Fields: Ensure that both the start time and end time fields are filled in. 
  Correct Format: Make sure that the times are entered in the correct format as required by the system (e.g., HH:MM or a specific date-time format).
  Logical Consistency: Ensure that the start time is earlier than the end time. If the start time is later than the end time, the system will not accept the input.
  Review Required Fields: Check if there are any other mandatory fields that need to be filled in along with the availability description.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the required format or fields, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific transaction or module you are working with.
