  The SAP error message HRGB_GBSXP757 indicates a "Curtailment Error," specifically stating that the "Curtailment date cannot be before Leave Start Date." This error typically occurs in the context of managing employee leave or absence records within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a user attempts to enter or modify a leave request or absence record with a curtailment date (the date on which the leave is being curtailed or ended) that is earlier than the leave start date.

  Check Leave Dates: Review the leave request or absence record to ensure that the curtailment date is set correctly. The curtailment date must be on or after the leave start date.
  
  
  Modify the Dates: If the curtailment date is incorrect, update it to a valid date that is equal to or later than the leave start date.
  
  
  Validation: After making the changes, validate the leave request again to ensure that the error no longer appears.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct dates or the process, refer to your organization's SAP HCM documentation or guidelines for managing leave requests.
  
  
  User Training: If this error occurs frequently, consider providing additional training to users on how to correctly enter leave requests and understand the implications of curtailment dates.
