• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABB_MESSAGES435 - Surch./disc. end date must be later than the effective date ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABB_MESSAGES435 indicates that there is an issue with the date configuration in a transaction related to surcharges or discounts. Specifically, the error states that the "surcharge/discount end date must be later than the effective date." This typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to set up or modify pricing conditions, surcharges, or discounts in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Date Configuration: The effective date (the date from which the surcharge or discount is valid) is set to a date that is equal to or later than the end date (the date until which the surcharge or discount is valid). This violates the logical sequence of dates.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a mistake in entering the dates, leading to an incorrect configuration.
  System Logic: The system enforces rules that require the end date to always be after the effective date to ensure proper pricing logic.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dates: Review the effective date and end date in the transaction where the error occurred. Ensure that the end date is set to a date that is later than the effective date.
  Modify Dates: If the dates are incorrect, modify them accordingly:
  
  Set the effective date to an earlier date if the end date is correct.
  Alternatively, set the end date to a later date if the effective date is correct.
  
  
  Validation: After making changes, validate the entries to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  Testing: If applicable, test the changes in a development or quality environment before applying them in production.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), or others related to pricing conditions.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed information on managing pricing conditions and understanding date logic.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to pricing conditions in the SAP system.
  Consulting with Colleagues: If you are unsure about the correct dates, consult with colleagues or a pricing analyst who may have more context on the pricing strategy.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your surcharge or discount configurations are set up correctly.
