  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message W_CB065: "Enter the validity end of the condition record":
  
  Error Message
  W_CB065: Enter the validity end of the condition record
  
  Cause
  This warning message appears when you are creating or maintaining a condition record in SAP (typically in Pricing or Condition Technique) and you have not entered the validity end date for the condition record.
  
  Condition records in SAP require a validity period defined by a validity start date and a validity end date.
  The system needs the validity end date to know until when the condition (e.g., price, discount, surcharge) is applicable.
  If the validity end date is missing or left blank, the system issues this warning to prompt you to enter it.
  
  
  When Does It Occur?
  
  During creation or change of condition records in transaction codes like VK11, VK12, or VK31.
  When the validity end date field is empty or not filled.
  Sometimes, the system might allow you to save the record with a blank validity end date (depending on configuration), but it will warn you with this message.
  
  
  Solution
  
  Enter a validity end date for the condition record.
  The validity end date should be a date equal to or later than the validity start date.
  If you want the condition to be valid indefinitely, you can enter a far future date (e.g., 31.12.9999) as the validity end date.
  After entering the validity end date, save the condition record again.
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  
  Validity Period in Condition Records:
  
  The validity period controls when the condition is active. SAP uses this to determine which condition record applies during pricing or other condition determinations.
  
  
  Why is it important?
  
  Without a validity end date, the system cannot determine the expiration of the condition, which may lead to incorrect pricing or condition application.
  
  
  Customizing:
  
  In some SAP systems, the validity end date might be optional or defaulted, depending on the configuration in the pricing procedure or condition tables.
