• The SAP error message E9041, which states "Date &1 must be after date &2," typically occurs when there is a validation check on date fields in a transaction or process. This error indicates that the date entered in one field (date &1) is not later than the date in another field (date &2), which is a requirement for the operation you are trying to perform.

  Incorrect Date Entry: The most common cause is that the user has entered a date that is earlier than or the same as another date that is being compared.
  System Configuration: There may be specific business rules or configurations in the system that enforce this date validation.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be inconsistencies in date formats or values.
