• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DFS_POSITION_COMMON070 - Org structure valid to date must be earlier than target FE valid to date. ?

  The SAP error message DFS_POSITION_COMMON070 indicates that there is a mismatch in the validity dates of the organizational structure and the target functional area (FE). Specifically, the error states that the "Org structure valid to date must be earlier than target FE valid to date." This typically occurs in the context of organizational management or personnel administration when trying to assign or change positions, roles, or other organizational elements.
  Cause:
  
  Date Mismatch: The validity end date of the organizational structure (e.g., position, job, or organizational unit) is set to a date that is later than the validity end date of the target functional area. This means that the system is trying to assign an organizational structure that is no longer valid for the specified target area.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may have been an error in entering the validity dates for either the organizational structure or the target functional area.
  Configuration Issues: There could be issues in the configuration of the organizational management module that lead to this inconsistency.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Dates: Review the validity dates of both the organizational structure and the target functional area. Ensure that the "valid to" date of the organizational structure is earlier than the "valid to" date of the target functional area.
  
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant infotype (e.g., infotype 0001 for organizational assignment) and checking the dates.
  
  
  
  Adjust Dates: If you find that the dates are incorrect, adjust the validity dates accordingly. You may need to change the end date of the organizational structure to ensure it is earlier than the target functional area.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the organizational management data to identify any other potential issues that may be causing this error.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct dates or how to adjust them, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs when you attempt to perform the action that triggered the error.
