• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/WBN001 - ôValid Fromö &1 is greater than ôValid Toö &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/WBN001 "Valid From" &1 is greater than "Valid To" &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an inconsistency in the validity dates of a certain object, such as a transportation lane, rate, or other time-sensitive data.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the "Valid From" date (start date) is set to a date that is later than the "Valid To" date (end date). This creates a logical inconsistency because a validity period cannot start after it ends.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check and correct the validity dates for the relevant object. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Identify the Object: Determine which object is causing the error. This could be a transportation lane, rate, or another configuration in SAP TM.
  
  
  Check Validity Dates:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration or master data screen in SAP TM.
  Look for the "Valid From" and "Valid To" fields.
  
  
  
  Correct the Dates:
  
  If the "Valid From" date is indeed greater than the "Valid To" date, you need to adjust one or both of these dates.
  Set the "Valid From" date to an earlier date than the "Valid To" date, or adjust the "Valid To" date to be later than the "Valid From" date, depending on your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and check if the error persists.
  
  
  Test the Configuration: After correcting the dates, perform a test to ensure that the object behaves as expected without triggering the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the object you are working with, you may use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/PLN for planning or /SCMTMS/LO for transportation lanes.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on managing validity periods in SAP TM.
  Transport Management: Ensure that your transport management processes are aligned with the validity periods you set, as this can affect planning and execution.
  
  If the issue persists after correcting the dates, consider checking for any related configurations or consulting with your SAP support team for further assistance.
