  The SAP error message HRGB_GBSXP684 indicates that there is an issue with the leave request in the system, specifically that the "Leave End" date must be before the "Leave Start" date. This error typically arises in the context of managing employee leave or absence records in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the dates entered for a leave request are not in the correct order. Specifically, the end date of the leave period is set to a date that is either the same as or earlier than the start date. This violates the logical sequence of a leave period, which should always have a start date that precedes the end date.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Leave Dates: Review the leave request details and ensure that the "Leave Start" date is earlier than the "Leave End" date.
  
  
  Correct the Dates: If the dates are incorrect, modify the leave request to set the "Leave Start" date to an earlier date than the "Leave End" date.
  
  
  Re-submit the Request: After making the necessary corrections, re-submit the leave request for processing.
  
  
  Related Information:

  Validation Rules: The system has built-in validation rules that enforce the correct sequence of dates to prevent logical errors in leave management.
  User Training: Ensure that users entering leave requests are trained on the importance of correctly entering dates to avoid this error in the future.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or user manuals for additional guidance on managing leave requests and understanding error messages.
