• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/OM703 - You must state the end date for delimitation ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/OM703 ("You must state the end date for delimitation") typically occurs in the context of managing master data in SAP, particularly when dealing with the delimitation of validity periods for certain objects, such as organizational units, positions, or other master data entities.
  Cause:
  This error arises when you attempt to create or modify a record that requires a validity period, but you have not specified an end date for the delimitation. In SAP, delimitation is used to define the time frame during which a particular record is valid. If the system does not have an end date, it cannot determine when the record should no longer be considered valid.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to provide an end date for the delimitation. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Access the relevant transaction: Go to the transaction where you encountered the error (e.g., transaction code for maintaining the specific master data).
  
  
  Locate the delimitation section: Look for the section in the screen where you can specify validity dates.
  
  
  Enter the end date: Provide a valid end date for the delimitation. This date should be after the start date and should reflect when the record is no longer valid.
  
  
  Save your changes: After entering the end date, save your changes to see if the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Delimitation: Delimitation is a key concept in SAP that allows users to manage the validity of master data. It is essential for ensuring that data is only active during specified periods.
  Validity Periods: When creating or modifying records, always ensure that both start and end dates are specified to avoid similar errors.
  SAP Documentation: For more detailed information, refer to the SAP Help Portal or specific documentation related to the module you are working with (e.g., SAP HR, SAP MM, etc.).
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, consider checking for any additional configuration settings or consulting with your SAP administrator or support team for further assistance.
