  The SAP error message WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG013: Invalid end date &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or SAP Process Integration scenarios, often related to offer or promotion validity periods, contract validity, or similar date validations.
  
  Cause:
  The error "Invalid end date &1" indicates that the end date provided for a particular object (such as an offer, promotion, contract, or workflow validity period) is not valid. This can happen due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  The end date is earlier than the start date.
  The end date is outside the allowed or configured date range.
  The end date is missing or incorrectly formatted.
  The end date violates business rules or validations defined in the system (e.g., end date must be within a fiscal period or must not be in the past).
  The end date conflicts with other related date fields or existing records.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you should:
  
  
  Check the End Date Value:
  
  Verify that the end date entered is correct and logically consistent (i.e., it should be after or equal to the start date).
  Ensure the date format is correct and recognized by the system.
  
  
  
  Validate Date Range:
  
  Confirm that the end date falls within the allowed validity period configured in the system.
  Check if there are any restrictions on the date range for the specific object (e.g., offer validity, contract period).
  
  
  
  Review Business Rules:
  
  Check any custom validations or user-exits that might enforce specific date rules.
  Adjust the end date to comply with these rules.
  
  
  
  Check Related Data:
  
  If the end date is related to other records (e.g., linked contracts, promotions), ensure there is no conflict.
  
  
  
  Correct the Data Entry:
  
  If the error occurs during data entry (e.g., in a transaction or workflow), correct the end date and save again.
  
  
  
  Debug or Check Logs:
  
  If the error persists, debug the relevant function module or BAdI where the validation occurs.
  Check application logs (transaction SLG1) or workflow logs for more details.
