• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_PROVIDER006 - This address is not saved; enter a future date ?

  The SAP error message CRM_PROVIDER006 typically indicates that there is an issue with the address data in the CRM system. Specifically, it suggests that the address you are trying to save is not valid because it is set to a date that is in the past or not properly configured for the current date.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Date: The address you are trying to save may have a validity date that is set in the past. In SAP CRM, addresses can have validity periods, and if the start date is in the past, the system will not allow you to save it.

  Check Address Validity Dates: Review the address you are trying to save and ensure that the validity start date is set to today or a future date. If it is set to a past date, update it accordingly.
  Enter Future Date: If you are creating a new address, make sure to enter a future date for the validity period.
  Review Configuration: If you have access to system configuration, check the settings related to address management and validity periods to ensure they are set up correctly.
