  The SAP error message CRM_FDT_MSG047 indicates that there is an issue with the validity dates of a revised rule in the context of the SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system. Specifically, the error states that the "valid from" date of the revised rule must be later than the "valid from" date of the higher-level rule.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a rule in the SAP CRM system, and the "valid from" date of the revised rule is set to a date that is earlier than or the same as the "valid from" date of the higher-level rule. This creates a conflict in the rule hierarchy, as the system expects the revised rule to take effect after the higher-level rule.

  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the "valid from" date of the revised rule is set to a date that is later than the "valid from" date of the higher-level rule. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Higher-Level Rule: Determine which higher-level rule is causing the conflict. You can usually find this in the rule management or configuration area of the CRM system.
  
  
  Check Validity Dates: Review the "valid from" dates of both the higher-level rule and the revised rule. 
  
  
  Adjust the Revised Rule: Change the "valid from" date of the revised rule to a date that is later than the "valid from" date of the higher-level rule.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to activate or use the revised rule again.
