This error can occur in various SAP modules, such as Production Planning (PP), Project System (PS), or others where time intervals are defined.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the start time (denoted as &1) is set to a later time than the end time (denoted as &2). This can happen due to:

  Review the Time Entries: Go to the transaction or screen where the error occurred and check the start and end times you have entered.
  
  
  Correct the Times:

  If the end time is incorrect, adjust it to reflect the correct end time.
  
  
  
  Validate Other Related Fields: Sometimes, other fields may also need to be checked to ensure that they are consistent with the time entries.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and try to execute the transaction again.
