T1211 - Details

• The SAP error message T1211, which states that the "Start of lead time" is later than the "End of hedging period," typically occurs in the context of materials planning and procurement processes. This error indicates a mismatch in the timing of the lead time for procurement or production and the defined hedging period for a material.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Lead Time Configuration: The lead time for a material (the time required to procure or produce the material) is set to start after the hedging period has ended. This can happen if the lead time is incorrectly configured in the material master or if the hedging period is not aligned with the procurement process.
  
  
  Hedging Period Definition: The hedging period is defined in the system to manage price fluctuations and ensure that procurement is done within a certain timeframe. If the lead time exceeds this period, the system will throw this error.
  
  
  Planning Parameters: Incorrect planning parameters
