  The SAP error message CRM_FDT_MSG004 indicates that there is an issue with the date input for a rule in the SAP CRM system. Specifically, the message states that the "to" date must be a valid current or future date. This error typically arises in scenarios where date ranges are being defined for rules, such as in pricing, promotions, or other time-sensitive configurations.

  Adjust Rule Dates: If you are defining a rule, ensure that the "from" date is earlier than the "to" date and that both dates are valid.
  Consult Documentation: If the error persists, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with for additional guidance on date handling.
