• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_LEASING_COPY004 - New contract end date has to be after &1 ?

  The SAP error message CRM_LEASING_COPY004 indicates that the new contract end date you are trying to set is not valid because it must be after a specified date (denoted as &1 in the error message). This typically occurs in the context of leasing contracts within the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are attempting to create or modify a leasing contract, and the end date you have entered is either the same as or earlier than the start date or another relevant date in the contract.
  The system has validation rules that require the end date to be after a certain date (e.g., the start date of the contract, the current date, or another contractual date).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check the Dates: Review the start date and any other relevant dates in the contract. Ensure that the new end date you are trying to set is indeed after the specified date (&1).
  Adjust the End Date: Modify the end date to a valid date that is after the required date. This could involve:
  
  Setting a new end date that is later than the start date.
  Ensuring that the end date is logically consistent with the terms of the contract.
  
  
  Review Contract Terms: If applicable, check the terms of the leasing contract to ensure that the new end date aligns with the agreed-upon terms.
