• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_IC_COMP_UI_PAYM026 - From-date successor bank may not be lower than to-date predecessor bank ?

  The SAP error message CRM_IC_COMP_UI_PAYM026 indicates that there is an issue with the date range specified for bank details in the system. Specifically, the error states that the "From-date" for a successor bank cannot be earlier than the "To-date" of a predecessor bank. This typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to maintain or update bank details for a customer or vendor in the SAP CRM system.
  Cause:
  
  Date Overlap: The error arises when there is an attempt to enter a new bank account (successor) with a "From-date" that is earlier than the "To-date" of an existing bank account (predecessor). This creates an overlap in the validity periods of the bank accounts.
  Incorrect Data Entry: It may also be due to incorrect data entry where the dates are not aligned properly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Bank Details:
  
  Navigate to the bank details section for the customer or vendor in question.
  Review the existing bank accounts and their validity periods (From-date and To-date).
  
  
  
  Adjust Dates:
  
  If you are adding a new bank account, ensure that the "From-date" of the new account is set to a date that is later than the "To-date" of the existing account.
  If necessary, adjust the "To-date" of the predecessor bank account to ensure there is no overlap.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that all date entries are consistent and logical. For example, if you are entering a new bank account for future use, the "From-date" should reflect the intended start date without conflicting with existing records.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and check if the error persists.
