  The SAP error message /ACCGO/MCK_MAINT303 Valid on date should always be greater than or equal to current date typically occurs in the context of maintaining master data or configuration settings in the SAP system, particularly when dealing with validity periods for certain records.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the date you are trying to enter as the "valid on" date for a particular record is earlier than the current date.

  Check the Current Date: Verify the current date in the system. You can do this by using the transaction code SE37 to run a simple function module that returns the current date or by checking the system status.
  
  
  Adjust the Validity Date: When entering or modifying the record, ensure that the "valid on" date is set to today’s date or a future date. If you are trying to create a record that should be valid from a past date, you may need to reconsider the business logic or requirements.
  
  
  Review Business Requirements: If the record needs to be valid from a past date for business reasons, you may need to consult with your business process owner or SAP functional consultant to understand if there are alternative approaches or if the system configuration needs to be adjusted.
  
  
  Check for System Settings: In some cases, there may be specific settings or configurations in the SAP system that enforce these rules. If you believe the error is incorrect, you may need to check with your SAP Basis or technical team to see if any adjustments can be made.
