  The SAP error message /PLMU/PPE_ENG_UI127 indicates that when you are trying to use a date range in a particular transaction or application, the "Valid From" field has not been filled in. This is a common issue when working with date ranges in SAP, especially in modules related to planning, engineering, or project management.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system requires a "Valid From" date to define the start of the date range. If you want to specify a date range for a particular operation, both the "Valid From" and "Valid To" fields must be populated. The absence of a value in the "Valid From" field leads to this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Locate the Valid From Field: Go to the screen where the error occurred and find the "Valid From" field.
  
  
  Enter a Value: Input a valid date in the "Valid From" field. Ensure that the date format is correct and adheres to the system's requirements.
  
  
  Check the Valid To Field: If you are using a date range, also ensure that the "Valid To" field is filled with a date that is later than the "Valid From" date.
  
  
  Save Changes: After entering the required values, save your changes and try to execute the operation again.
  
  
  Review Documentation: If you are unsure about the date values to enter, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Date Formats: Be aware of the date format used in your SAP system (e.g., DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY) to avoid input errors.
