  Review Business Processes: If this error occurs frequently, review the business processes related to sealing and unsealing to ensure that users are following the correct procedures and that the system is configured properly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct dates or the process, refer to the SAP documentation or user manuals related to the Shipping and Receiving module in EWM.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists or if you believe there is a system error, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM that deal with seals, such as /SCWM/SEAL for managing seals.
  User Roles: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to manage seals and their dates.
  Training: Provide training to users on the correct procedures for sealing and unsealing to minimize errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the sealing and unsealing processes are carried out correctly in your SAP EWM system.
