• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 69159 - No end date in future is possible for payer of a condition ?

  The SAP error message 69159, "No end date in future is possible for payer of a condition," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, particularly when dealing with condition records for pricing in sales documents. This error indicates that the system cannot find a valid end date for a pricing condition for the specified payer.
  Cause:
  
  Condition Record Configuration: The condition record for the specified payer may not have a valid end date set. This can happen if the end date is set to a date in the past or if there is no end date defined at all.
  Payer-Specific Conditions: The error may arise when trying to create or modify a condition record that is specific to a payer, and the system is unable to determine a valid future end date for that condition.
  Date Validity: The system checks the validity of the condition records based on the current date and the defined start and end dates. If the end date is not in the future, the error will be triggered.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Records: Go to the condition records for the specific payer and check the validity dates. Ensure that there is a future end date defined for the condition.
  
  You can do this by navigating to the transaction code VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) and entering the relevant details to view the condition records.
  
  
  
  Modify End Date: If the end date is set incorrectly (e.g., in the past), modify it to a valid future date. If there is no end date, consider setting one that is appropriate for your business needs.
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure: Ensure that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document is correctly configured to handle the conditions for the payer. This includes checking the sequence of condition types and their validity.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the configuration or the implications of changing condition records, consult the SAP documentation or your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
