This typically occurs in scenarios involving master data, such as when creating or updating records in various modules (e.g., customer master data, vendor master data, or material master data).
  Cause:
  The error is caused by incorrect date entries in the relevant fields. Specifically, the "Valid from" date must always be earlier than or the same as the "Valid to" date. If the "Valid from" date is set to a later date than the "Valid to" date, the system will trigger this error message.
