Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >1563 - Key date is too old; adjustment already performed on &1 ?

  The SAP error message 1563 indicates that the key date you are trying to use for a particular operation is too old, and an adjustment has already been performed on the specified object (denoted by &1). This typically occurs in the context of financial or controlling modules, where adjustments or postings are time-sensitive.
  Cause:
  
  Key Date Too Old: The key date you are trying to use for a transaction or adjustment is earlier than the date of the last adjustment that was made. SAP prevents you from making changes to historical data that has already been adjusted to maintain data integrity.
  Posting Period Closed: The posting period for the key date may be closed, which means that no further adjustments can be made for that period.
  Data Consistency: SAP enforces rules to ensure that data remains consistent and accurate, preventing changes to data that could lead to discrepancies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use a Valid Key Date: Check the key date you are using and ensure it is not older than the last adjustment date. Use a more recent date for your transaction.
  Check Posting Periods: Verify if the posting period for the key date is open. If it is closed, you may need to open it (if your organization’s policy allows) or use a different date.
  Review Adjustments: Look into the adjustments that have already been made on the object in question. You may need to consult with your finance or controlling team to understand the implications of making further adjustments.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on handling adjustments and key dates to ensure compliance with internal policies.
