• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEFILT061 - Interval: Valid from (&1) is equal to valid to (&2) ?

  The SAP error message PPEFILT061 indicates that there is an issue with the validity interval of a planning object, specifically that the "Valid from" date is equal to the "Valid to" date. This means that the system is unable to process the planning object because the interval does not represent a valid range of time.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The "Valid from" date and the "Valid to" date are set to the same date, which does not create a valid time interval for planning purposes.
  This can happen due to data entry errors, incorrect configuration, or issues during data migration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Dates: Review the planning object in question and verify the "Valid from" and "Valid to" dates. Ensure that the "Valid to" date is later than the "Valid from" date.
  
  
  Adjust the Dates: If you find that the dates are the same, adjust the "Valid to" date to be at least one day later than the "Valid from" date. For example, if "Valid from" is set to January 1, 2023, then "Valid to" should be set to January 2, 2023, or later.
  
  
  Data Entry: If this error is occurring during data entry, ensure that users are trained to enter valid date ranges.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If this is a recurring issue, review the configuration settings in the relevant planning module to ensure that there are no default settings that might be causing this problem.
