  Solution:
  
  Change the Date: Review the "Effective To Date" you have entered and change it to the last day of the month. For example, if you are working with February 2023, the last day would be February 28, 2023 (or February 29 in a leap year).
  Check Configuration: If you believe the date should be valid, check with your SAP HR configuration settings or your HR administrator to see if there are specific rules that enforce this requirement.
