  Check Date Inputs: Review the dates you have entered. Ensure that the "From date" is earlier than the "To date." Adjust the dates accordingly.
  Validation Logic: If you are developing or customizing a report or transaction, ensure that there is proper validation logic in place to prevent users from entering invalid date ranges.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the expected date formats or requirements, consult the relevant SAP documentation or help files.
