• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP456 - End of relationship (&1) must not be after end of object (&2) ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP456 End of relationship (&1) must not be after end of object (&2) typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Model (FDM) or similar modules where relationships between objects (like master data or transactional data) are defined with specific start and end dates.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is a relationship defined between two objects (e.g., a business partner and a contract) where the end date of the relationship (&1) is set to a date that is later than the end date of the object itself (&2). This situation is logically inconsistent because a relationship cannot extend beyond the lifespan of the object it is associated with.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Dates: Review the end dates of both the relationship and the object involved. Ensure that the end date of the relationship does not exceed the end date of the object.
  
  
  Adjust the Relationship: If the relationship's end date is incorrect, update it to a date that is on or before the end date of the object.
  
  
  Review Object Validity: If the object’s end date is incorrect, consider whether it needs to be extended or if the relationship should be adjusted accordingly.
  
  
  Data Consistency: Ensure that all related data entries are consistent and that there are no overlapping or conflicting date ranges.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may need to use specific transaction codes to view or edit the objects and relationships involved (e.g., BP for Business Partner, FDM for Flexible Data Model).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on managing relationships and date validity in the specific module you are working with.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the dates, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your data relationships are correctly defined within the SAP system.
