  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SCC214 Enter end date for validity of means of transport typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to maintain or create a means of transport (like a vehicle or shipping method) without specifying an end date for its validity period.

  Locate the Means of Transport: Find the means of transport that you are trying to create or modify.
  Enter Validity Dates:
  
  Ensure that you have both a start date and an end date filled in.
  The end date should be a date that logically follows the start date, indicating the period during which the means of transport is valid.
  
  
  Save Changes: After entering the required dates, save your changes.
