  The SAP error message /PM0/ABB_MESSAGES536 indicating that the "Deductible end date must be before level end date" typically arises in the context of managing insurance or warranty-related data within the SAP system, particularly in modules related to Product Management or Warranty Management.
  Cause:

  Adjust the Dates: If the deductible end date is incorrect, modify it to ensure it is before the level end date. This may involve:
  
  Editing the deductible settings in the warranty or insurance contract.
  Ensuring that any related configurations or master data are consistent with this requirement.
  
  
  
  Validate Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, validate the changes by attempting to save or process the transaction again to ensure that the error no longer appears.
