• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP888 - End of relationsh. target &1 (&2) before end of object to be created (&3) ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP888 End of relationship target &1 (&2) before end of object to be created (&3) typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Model (FDM) or related modules where relationships between objects are being defined or processed. This error indicates that there is an issue with the timing or sequence of relationships between objects in the data model.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Relationship Definition: The error often arises when the end date of a relationship target (object) is set before the start date of the object you are trying to create. This can happen if the relationship is not properly defined or if there are overlapping dates that are not logically consistent.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be existing data that violates the expected relationship constraints, leading to conflicts when trying to create or modify objects.
  
  
  Configuration Errors: Misconfiguration in the data model or relationship settings can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Relationship Dates: Review the start and end dates of the relationship target (&1 and &2) and ensure that they logically align with the object you are trying to create (&3). Adjust the dates as necessary to ensure that the relationship is valid.
  
  
  Review Data Model Configuration: Ensure that the data model and relationship definitions are correctly configured. This may involve checking the settings in the relevant customizing transactions.
  
  
  Data Cleanup: If there are existing records that are causing conflicts, you may need to clean up or adjust those records to ensure data integrity.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the creation of the object again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the specific module, you may need to use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or specific customizing transactions related to the Flexible Data Model.
