Specifically, the coverage end date cannot be later than the contract end date. This error typically arises in the context of contract management or service management modules within SAP.
  Cause:

  Contract Configuration: The contract itself may have been configured with an end date that is earlier than the coverage end date.
  System Logic: The system is designed to enforce business rules that prevent coverage from extending beyond the contract's validity period.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Dates: Check the coverage end date and the contract end date in the relevant transaction or document. Ensure that the coverage end date is not set to a date that exceeds the contract end date.
  Adjust Dates: If the coverage end date is indeed later than the contract end date, adjust the coverage end date to a date that is on or before the contract end date.
  Contract Review: If the coverage needs to extend beyond the current contract end date, consider extending the contract itself. This may involve creating a contract amendment or renewal.
  Validation: After making the necessary adjustments, validate the changes to ensure that the error message no longer appears.
