  Check Dates: Review the "Effective from date" and ensure that the "Effective to date" you are entering is earlier than the "Effective from date." Adjust the dates accordingly.
  Correct Data Entry: If you find that the dates were entered incorrectly, correct them to ensure that the "Effective to date" is before the "Effective from date."
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the date logic required for the specific transaction or record type, consult the relevant SAP documentation or help resources.
