• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >A206 - Company code &1 was valuated after key date &2 ?

  The SAP error message A206 indicates that a company code was valuated after a specified key date. This typically occurs in the context of asset accounting or financial reporting, where the system is trying to perform a valuation or calculation that is restricted by the key date set in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Key Date Issue: The key date specified in the transaction or report is earlier than the date when the company code was last valuated. This means that the system cannot perform the requested operation because it would require data that is not available for the specified period.
  Data Entry Error: The user may have entered an incorrect key date or company code.
  Configuration Settings: There may be settings in the asset accounting configuration that restrict valuations to certain periods.

  Check Key Date: Verify the key date you are using in your transaction. Ensure that it is set to a date that is valid for the company code in question.
  Valuation Run: If the company code has not been valuated for the period you are trying to access, you may need to run the valuation process for that period. This can typically be done through the transaction code for asset valuation (e.g., ABAA, ABAV, etc.).
