• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 64070 - Issue start date cannot be later than conversion period from/to ?

  The SAP error message 64070, which states "Issue start date cannot be later than conversion period from/to," typically occurs in the context of inventory management or material management when you are trying to perform a transaction that involves issuing materials or managing stock, and the date you are trying to use is outside the allowed conversion period.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Date Mismatch: The issue start date you are trying to enter is later than the defined conversion period in the system. The conversion period is a time frame during which certain transactions can be processed.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the material master or the configuration for the specific material may restrict the issue date to a certain range.
  Period Closing: The period for which you are trying to issue materials may have been closed in the system, preventing any transactions from being processed for that period.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check the Issue Date: Ensure that the issue start date you are entering is within the allowed conversion period. Adjust the date accordingly.
  Review Conversion Period Settings: 
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP (usually in the IMG under Logistics > Material Management > Inventory Management > Define Conversion Period).
  Verify the settings for the conversion period and adjust them if necessary.
  
  
  Open the Period: If the period is closed, you may need to open it again to allow transactions. This can typically be done by:
  
  Navigating to the transaction for period closing (e.g., MMPV for inventory management).
  Opening the relevant period for the material or plant.
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator: If you are unsure about making changes to configuration settings or if the issue persists, consult with your SAP administrator or support team for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MMBE (Stock Overview), MMPV (Change Period Closing), and MM02 (Change Material) to check material settings.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to inventory management and material master settings for more detailed guidance.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the material master or configuration settings.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with your transaction in SAP.
