ACE503 - Details

• The SAP error message ACE503, which states "No actual posting data exists before simulation key date &1," typically occurs in the context of financial or controlling modules when you are trying to run a report or simulation that requires actual posting data, but there is none available for the specified date.
  
  Cause:
  
  No Data Posted: The most common cause is that there are no actual postings (e.g., journal entries, invoices, etc.) recorded in the system before the specified simulation key date.
  Incorrect Key Date: The key date you are using for the simulation might be set incorrectly, leading to a situation where it falls before any actual postings have been made.
  Data Deletion: Actual posting data may have been deleted or archived, making it unavailable for the simulation.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the visibility of certain postings or that affect how data is retrieved for simulations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Posting
