• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/CCK_DPQS009 - Entry exists till &1; key field allowed outside this range ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CCK_DPQS009 Entry exists till &1; key field allowed outside this range typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with data entries in the context of cost center accounting or profit center accounting. This error indicates that there is an attempt to enter or modify a record that falls outside the allowed range of key fields, which are usually defined by the system's configuration.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Entry Outside Valid Range: The error suggests that the entry you are trying to make is outside the valid range defined for the key field. This could be due to:
  
  An attempt to enter a date or a value that is not allowed based on existing records.
  The key field (like a cost center or profit center) has been defined with a specific range, and the entry you are trying to make does not fall within that range.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the controlling area or the specific master data that restrict the range of values that can be entered.
  
  
  Existing Entries: There may be existing entries in the database that conflict with the new entry you are trying to create or modify.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: Review the existing entries in the relevant tables to see if there are any records that conflict with the entry you are trying to make. You can use transaction codes like KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items) or KOB1 (Order: Actual Line Items) to check for existing records.
  
  
  Verify Key Field Ranges: Check the configuration of the key fields in the relevant customizing settings. You can do this by navigating to:
  
  SPRO ? Controlling ? Cost Center Accounting ? Master Data ? Define Cost Centers
  Ensure that the ranges for the key fields are correctly defined and that your entry falls within these ranges.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Entry: If the entry you are trying to make is indeed outside the allowed range, you will need to adjust it to fit within the defined parameters.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the configuration or the specific ranges, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
  
  
  Testing in a Development Environment: If you are making changes to configuration, it is advisable to test these changes in a development or test environment before applying them to production.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for checking cost centers, profit centers, and other related master data.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the controlling area or to the specific master data.
