• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMEUFCST002 - Documents end date of &1 is after the end date of operation &2 ?

  The SAP error message FMEUFCST002 indicates that there is a mismatch between the end date of a document and the end date of an operation in the system. Specifically, it means that the end date of the document (identified by &1) is later than the end date of the operation (identified by &2). This can occur in various contexts, such as project management, production planning, or financial forecasting.
  Cause:
  
  Data Entry Error: The end date of the document may have been entered incorrectly, leading to it being set later than the operation's end date.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that do not align with the expected date ranges for operations and documents.
  Changes in Operations: If the operation's end date was changed after the document was created, it could lead to this inconsistency.
  Dependencies: The document may be dependent on the operation, and if the operation's timeline is altered, it can cause this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Dates: Review the end date of the document (identified by &1) and ensure it is set correctly. If it is indeed later than the operation's end date, adjust it to be within the valid range.
  Review Operation Dates: Check the end date of the operation (identified by &2) to ensure it is correct. If the operation's end date needs to be extended, make the necessary adjustments.
  Recreate Document: If the document is not critical, consider deleting and recreating it with the correct dates.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings for date handling in your specific module are correct.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that any dependencies between documents and operations are correctly defined and that changes in one do not lead to inconsistencies in the other.
