  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F6559 - From date &1 does not correspond to start date &2 of the fiscal year ?

    The SAP error message F6559 indicates that there is a mismatch between the "From date" you are trying to use and the "Start date" of the fiscal year defined in the system. This error typically occurs when you are attempting to post a financial transaction or create a document that falls outside the defined fiscal year period.

    Cause:

    1. Incorrect Date Entry: The "From date" you are entering is not aligned with the fiscal year start date defined in the system.
    2. Fiscal Year Configuration: The fiscal year may not be configured correctly in the system, or the fiscal year has not been opened for the period you are trying to post.
    3. Posting Periods: The posting period for the date you are trying to use may be closed or not open for posting.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Fiscal Year Configuration:

      • Go to the transaction code OB29 (or the relevant configuration transaction) to check the fiscal year variant settings.
      • Ensure that the fiscal year start date is correctly defined and that the fiscal year is open for the period you are trying to post.
    2. Verify Posting Periods:

      • If necessary, open the required posting period for the relevant company code.
    3. Adjust the Date:

      • If the "From date" you are using is incorrect, adjust it to a date that falls within the valid range of the fiscal year.
    4. Consult with Your Finance Team:

      • If you are unsure about the fiscal year settings or posting periods, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with financial policies.

    Related Information:

    • Fiscal Year Variant: This defines the structure of the fiscal year, including the start and end dates, and how periods are defined.
