• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_OWNERSHIP_UI032 - To Date must be less than the DOI End Date ?

  The SAP error message GHO_OWNERSHIP_UI032 indicates that there is a validation issue with the date fields in a transaction or process related to ownership or asset management. Specifically, the error states that the "To Date" must be less than the "DOI End Date" (Date of Interest End Date). This typically occurs in scenarios where date ranges are being defined, such as in ownership changes, asset transfers, or similar processes.
  Cause:
  
  Date Range Validation: The error arises when the "To Date" you have entered is equal to or later than the "DOI End Date." This violates the business logic that requires the "To Date" to be strictly less than the "DOI End Date."
  Incorrect Data Entry: It may be due to a simple data entry mistake where the dates were not entered correctly.
  System Configuration: There could be a configuration issue in the system that is not allowing the dates to be processed as expected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Date Entries: Review the dates you have entered in the transaction. Ensure that the "To Date" is set to a date that is earlier than the "DOI End Date."
  Adjust Dates: If the "To Date" is incorrect, modify it to a valid date that meets the criteria.
  Review Business Logic: If you believe the dates are correct and the error persists, consult with your SAP functional consultant or system administrator to review the business logic and configuration settings related to date validations.
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, re-attempt the transaction to see if the error is resolved.
