• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NGC_CORE_CLS001 - Valid-from &1 should not be bigger than valid-to &2 ?

  The SAP error message NGC_CORE_CLS001 indicates that there is a validation issue with the date ranges in your data. Specifically, the error states that the "valid-from" date should not be greater than the "valid-to" date. This typically occurs in scenarios where date ranges are defined for master data, such as in the context of pricing, validity periods for contracts, or other time-sensitive data entries.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a logical inconsistency in the date fields:
  
  Valid-From Date: This is the starting date from which the data is considered valid.
  Valid-To Date: This is the ending date until which the data is considered valid.
  
  If the valid-from date is set to a date that is later than the valid-to date, the system cannot process the data correctly, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check the Dates: Review the entries for the valid-from and valid-to dates in the relevant transaction or master data record.
  Correct the Dates: Ensure that the valid-from date is earlier than or equal to the valid-to date. Adjust the dates accordingly.
  Save Changes: After making the necessary corrections, save the changes and try to process the transaction again.
