• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5V074 - Changes saved. New values are valid from & until 31.12.9999. ?

  The SAP error message "5V074 Changes saved. New values are valid from & until 31.12.9999." typically indicates that you have made changes to a configuration or master data record, and the new values you have entered are set to be valid indefinitely, until the end of the year 9999. This is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating the validity period of the changes you have made.
  Cause:
  
  Indefinite Validity: The message is triggered when you set a new value for a field that has a validity period, and the end date is set to 31.12.9999, which is a common practice in SAP to indicate that the value is valid indefinitely.
  Data Entry: You may have entered a new value without specifying an end date, leading the system to default to the maximum date.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Validity Dates: If you intended for the new values to have a specific validity period, you should go back and adjust the start and end dates accordingly.
  Confirm Changes: If the changes are correct and you want the values to be valid indefinitely, you can simply acknowledge the message and continue with your process.
  Documentation: Ensure that you document the changes made for future reference, especially if the values are set to be valid for a long time.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on what you are working on (e.g., material master, vendor master, etc.), you may be using different transaction codes (e.g., MM02 for material master, XK02 for vendor master).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific issues related to the transaction you are working on, as there may be updates or patches that address similar messages.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to set validity periods correctly to avoid confusion in the future.
  
  If you are still unsure about the implications of this message or if it is affecting your processes, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific SAP environment and configuration.
