• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6Z102 - Posting not possible since planned records still exist before key date ?

  The SAP error message 6Z102 indicates that a posting is not possible because there are planned records that still exist before the key date. This typically occurs in the context of materials management or production planning, where planned orders, purchase requisitions, or other planned records are still active and have not been processed or completed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to post a transaction (such as a goods movement, invoice, or production order) that is affected by planned records that have not yet been resolved. The system prevents the posting to ensure data integrity and to avoid inconsistencies in planning and execution.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Planned Records:
  
  Use transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or MD05 (Individual Display of MRP List) to check for any planned orders, purchase requisitions, or other records that are still open and relevant to the posting you are trying to make.
  
  
  
  Process or Delete Planned Records:
  
  If the planned records are no longer needed, you can delete them. If they are still relevant, ensure they are processed (e.g., convert planned orders to production orders, or convert purchase requisitions to purchase orders).
  
  
  
  Adjust Key Date:
  
  If applicable, you may need to adjust the key date for the posting you are trying to make. Ensure that the key date is set to a time after all planned records have been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult with Planning Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the planned records or their implications, consult with your planning or materials management team to understand the impact of deleting or processing these records.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  In some cases, the configuration settings in the system may need to be reviewed to ensure that they align with your business processes.
