  The SAP error message PB003 ("End date after & is not possible.") typically occurs in the context of personnel administration or time management when there is an issue with the validity dates of a personnel action or infotype record. This error indicates that the end date you are trying to set for a record is after a certain date that is not allowed, which could be due to various reasons such as system settings, configuration, or business rules.
  Causes:

  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the end date based on certain criteria (e.g., the end date must be before a specific date).
  Existing Records: There may be existing records that conflict with the new end date you are trying to set, such as overlapping validity periods.
  Business Rules: Company policies or business rules may dictate that certain actions cannot have an end date beyond a specific point in time.

  Check Date Validity: Ensure that the end date you are trying to enter is valid and does not exceed any predefined limits set in the system.
  Review Existing Records: Look for any existing records in the same infotype that may conflict with the new end date. You may need to adjust or delete these records.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access, check the configuration settings for the infotype or personnel action in transaction SPRO to see if there are any restrictions on the end date.
  Adjust Business Rules: If applicable, consult with your HR or SAP configuration team to understand if there are any business rules that need to be adjusted to allow for the desired end date.
