• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REXCES067 - Valid-to date (&1) must be after the valid-from date (&2) ?

  The SAP error message REXCES067 indicates that there is an issue with the date configuration in a particular transaction or process. Specifically, it states that the "Valid-to date" must be after the "Valid-from date." This error typically occurs in scenarios involving validity periods for master data, such as pricing conditions, contracts, or other time-sensitive data entries.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the "Valid-to date" (the end date of a validity period) is set to a date that is earlier than or the same as the "Valid-from date" (the start date of the validity period). This creates a logical inconsistency, as a validity period cannot start and end on the same date or have an end date that precedes the start date.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the dates are set correctly. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check the Dates: Review the "Valid-from" and "Valid-to" dates in the relevant transaction or master data entry. Ensure that the "Valid-to date" is later than the "Valid-from date."
  
  
  Adjust the Dates: If the "Valid-to date" is incorrect, modify it to a date that is after the "Valid-from date." 
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to execute the transaction again.
  
  
  Validation: If you are unsure about the correct dates, consult with your business process owner or refer to the relevant business rules that govern the validity periods for the data you are working with.
