  The SAP error message /PM0/ABP_SBJ_MSG059 indicates that there is an issue with the reversal date of an object in the context of asset management or project management. Specifically, the error states that the reversal date of the object is before the coverage end date, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Reversal Date Before Coverage End Date: The primary cause of this error is that the reversal date you are trying to enter for the object (e.g., an asset or project) is earlier than the coverage end date. This means that the system is enforcing a rule that prevents reversing transactions that would affect periods that are already closed or beyond the coverage end date.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Dates: Review the reversal date you are trying to enter and compare it with the coverage end date of the object. Ensure that the reversal date is on or after the coverage end date.
  
  
  Adjust Reversal Date: If the reversal date is indeed before the coverage end date, you will need to adjust it to a valid date that is on or after the coverage end date.
  
  
  Review Coverage Periods: If necessary, review the configuration of coverage periods for the object in question. Ensure that the coverage end date is set correctly and reflects the intended business logic.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more details on how coverage periods and reversal transactions are managed in your specific SAP module (e.g., PM, PS, or FI).
