  Change the finish date to a later date.
  Alternatively, if the start date is incorrect, adjust it to an earlier date if that is appropriate.
  
  
  
  Review Dependencies: If the task is dependent on other tasks, ensure that the dependencies are correctly set up and that they do not create conflicts in the scheduling.
  
  
  Check for Changes: If there have been recent changes to the project schedule, verify that these changes did not inadvertently create the conflict.
  
  
  Use the Project Planning Tools: Utilize SAP's project planning tools to visualize the project timeline and identify any scheduling conflicts.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct dates or how to adjust them, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a project manager or SAP consultant.
