  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_BOMBOS109 indicates that there is an issue with the start date of an interval being set in the future. This error typically occurs in the context of planning or scheduling within SAP, particularly in modules related to project management, maintenance, or production planning.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when a user attempts to create or modify a planning interval (such as a maintenance plan, project timeline, or production schedule) with a start date that is later than the current date. This is not allowed because the system expects the start date to be in the past or present to ensure that planning and scheduling are based on realistic timelines.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Date Input: Review the date you have entered for the start of the interval. Ensure that it is not set to a future date. 
  
  
  Adjust the Date: If the date is indeed in the future, change it to a date that is either today or in the past, depending on your planning requirements.
  
  
  Validate Business Logic: Ensure that the business logic or requirements for the planning interval allow for the dates you are trying to set. If you are unsure, consult with your project manager or planning team.
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action: After making the necessary adjustments to the date, try to save or execute the action again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or specific module documentation for more details on date handling and planning intervals.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to planning intervals, as restrictions may also lead to errors.
