• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WL629 - Latest end & & later than superordinate latest end & & ?

  The SAP error message WL629 ("Latest end & & later than superordinate latest end & &") typically occurs in the context of project management or production planning within SAP. This error indicates that the latest end date of a task or activity is set later than the latest end date of its superordinate (parent) task or activity. This situation violates the logical sequence of task dependencies, as a child task cannot logically end after its parent task.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Scheduling: The latest end date for a subordinate task has been set incorrectly, causing it to extend beyond the latest end date of its parent task.
  Dependency Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the task dependencies, leading to conflicting scheduling.
  Manual Entry Errors: Users may have manually entered dates that do not align with the project structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Task Dates: Check the latest end dates of both the subordinate and superordinate tasks. Ensure that the latest end date of the subordinate task is not later than that of the superordinate task.
  Adjust Dates: If the subordinate task's latest end date is incorrect, adjust it to be on or before the latest end date of the superordinate task.
  Check Dependencies: Review the dependencies between tasks to ensure they are correctly defined. If necessary, modify the dependencies to reflect the correct relationships.
  Use Scheduling Tools: Utilize SAP's scheduling tools to automatically adjust dates based on dependencies and constraints.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing task dates and dependencies.
