  The SAP error message FVER120, which states that the "Notice period from" must be before "notice period to," typically occurs in the context of managing employee data, particularly in relation to notice periods for terminations or changes in employment status.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the dates entered for the notice period are incorrect. Specifically, the "Notice period from" date is set to a date that is equal to or later than the "Notice period to" date. This creates a logical inconsistency, as the start of the notice period cannot occur after or on the same day as the end of the notice period.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Dates: Review the entries for the "Notice period from" and "Notice period to" fields. Ensure that the "Notice period from" date is earlier than the "Notice period to" date.
  
  
  Correct the Dates: If the dates are incorrect, update them accordingly. For example, if the "Notice period from" is set to 2023-10-15 and the "Notice period to" is set to 2023-10-10, you need to change the "Notice period from" to a date before 2023-10-10.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and check if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Context: This error is often encountered in the Employee Master Data or in the context of personnel actions such as terminations, resignations, or changes in employment status.
  SAP Modules: This error is typically related to modules like SAP HCM (Human Capital Management) or SAP SuccessFactors.
  Validation Rules: The system has built-in validation rules to ensure data integrity, which is why this error is triggered when the dates do not follow the logical sequence.
  User Training: Ensure that users entering this data are trained on the importance of date sequences and the implications of incorrect entries.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FVER120 error and proceed with your SAP operations without further issues.
