• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRMS4_PS_GROSS154 - Field Created_At is before Change_At for GED &1 ?

  The SAP error message CRMS4_PS_GROSS154 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the timestamps of two fields: Created_At and Change_At. Specifically, the error suggests that the Created_At timestamp is earlier than the Change_At timestamp for a specific object (indicated by &1). This situation is logically inconsistent because an object cannot be changed before it is created.
  Cause:
  
  Data Integrity Issues: This error typically arises due to data integrity issues, where the timestamps have been incorrectly set or manipulated, possibly due to manual data entry errors, data migration issues, or system bugs.
  System Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the system that affects how timestamps are recorded or updated.
  Custom Development: If there are custom programs or enhancements in place, they might not be handling the timestamps correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data: Review the records for the object indicated by &1. Verify the values of the Created_At and Change_At fields to ensure they are logically consistent.
  Correct Timestamps: If you find that the timestamps are incorrect, you may need to update the Change_At field to a value that is later than the Created_At field. This can often be done through a direct database update or through the appropriate SAP transaction, depending on your organization's policies.
  Review Custom Code: If there are custom developments, review the code to ensure that it correctly sets the timestamps during creation and updates.
