• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCCS117 - Valid-to date cannot be maintained without maintaining valid-from date ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCCS117 Valid-to date cannot be maintained without maintaining valid-from date typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you are trying to set a "Valid-to" date for a certain object (like a transportation lane, rate, or other configuration) without having a corresponding "Valid-from" date defined.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system requires both a "Valid-from" and a "Valid-to" date to define a valid time period for the object. The "Valid-from" date indicates when the record becomes effective, while the "Valid-to" date indicates when it ceases to be effective. If you attempt to enter a "Valid-to" date without first specifying a "Valid-from" date, the system cannot determine the validity period, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that you have defined a "Valid-from" date before entering a "Valid-to" date. Here are the steps to follow:
  
  Access the relevant configuration or transaction where you are trying to maintain the dates.
  Locate the "Valid-from" field and enter a valid date that indicates when the record should start being effective.
  After entering the "Valid-from" date, you can then proceed to enter the "Valid-to" date.
  Save your changes after entering both dates.
