• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6Z100 - Valuation not possible since valuation after key date exists ?

  The SAP error message 6Z100 ("Valuation not possible since valuation after key date exists") typically occurs in the context of asset accounting or inventory management when there is an attempt to perform a valuation or posting that is not allowed due to existing valuations that have been recorded after a specified key date.
  Cause:
  The error is generally caused by one of the following scenarios:
  
  
  Key Date Restrictions: A key date has been set for the valuation, and there are existing valuations or postings that occur after this date. This means that the system is preventing any new valuations from being processed because it would conflict with the existing data.
  
  
  Open Periods: The accounting periods may not be open for the transactions you are trying to process, or there may be restrictions on the periods that allow for certain types of postings.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Key Date: Review the key date set for the valuation. If necessary, adjust the key date to a later date where no conflicting valuations exist.
  
  
  Review Existing Valuations: Check for any existing valuations or postings that have been made after the key date. You may need to reverse or adjust these postings if they are incorrect.
  
  
  Open Accounting Periods: Ensure that the accounting periods are open for the transactions you are trying to process. You can do this by checking the period control settings in the system.
  
  
  Data Consistency: Verify the asset master data or inventory data for completeness and correctness. Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out and that there are no inconsistencies.
