• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES237 - Date 'Offer until' before 'Offer on' ?

  The SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES237 indicates that there is a date validation issue in the context of an offer or pricing condition. Specifically, the error states that the "Offer until" date is set before the "Offer on" date, which is logically incorrect. This typically occurs in scenarios involving pricing conditions, sales offers, or similar transactions where date ranges are defined.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following:
  
  The "Offer on" date (the start date of the offer) is later than the "Offer until" date (the end date of the offer). This creates a situation where the offer cannot be valid, as it implies that the offer starts after it ends.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the dates in the relevant transaction or configuration. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check the Dates: Review the "Offer on" and "Offer until" dates in the transaction or configuration where the error occurred.
  
  
  Correct the Dates:
  
  If the "Offer on" date is incorrect, change it to an earlier date that is before the "Offer until" date.
  If the "Offer until" date is incorrect, change it to a later date that is after the "Offer on" date.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to execute the transaction again.
  
  
  Validation: Ensure that the new dates make sense in the context of your business rules and processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be working in various transaction codes such as VA01 (Create Sales Order), VA02 (Change Sales Order), or others related to pricing conditions.

  User Permissions: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the offer dates.
