• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 67915 - Calculation date before period start & ?

  The SAP error message "67915 Calculation date before period start" typically occurs when a user attempts to perform a calculation or process that requires a date that falls before the defined start date of a financial period. This can happen in various modules, such as Controlling (CO) or Financial Accounting (FI), where period control is crucial for accurate reporting and processing.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Date Entry: The calculation date entered is earlier than the start date of the financial period.
  Period Locking: The financial period may be locked for posting, preventing any calculations or postings before the period start date.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the fiscal year or periods may not align with the expected dates for calculations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Calculation Date: Ensure that the calculation date you are using is within the valid range of the financial periods. Adjust the date if necessary.
  Review Period Settings: Go to the transaction code OB52 (for controlling periods) or OB29 (for financial accounting periods) to check the open and closed periods. Make sure the period you are trying to work with is open.
  Adjust Posting Periods: If you need to perform calculations for a closed period, you may need to temporarily open the period in the configuration settings, but be cautious as this can affect financial integrity.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for specific configurations related to your organization’s setup.
