• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICA_RESUB001 - Enter a date in the future ?

  The SAP error message FICA_RESUB001 ("Enter a date in the future") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Financial Contract Accounting (FICA) module. This error indicates that a date entered in a transaction or process is not valid because it is set in the past or is not a future date as required by the system.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Date Entry: The user may have entered a date that is in the past instead of a future date.
  System Configuration: Certain processes in FICA may require future dates for specific transactions, such as resubmissions or scheduling future payments.
  Business Logic: The business rules defined in the system may dictate that certain actions can only be performed with future dates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Date: Review the date you have entered in the transaction. Ensure that it is indeed a future date (i.e., today’s date or any date after today).
  Adjust the Date: If the date is incorrect, modify it to a valid future date and try the transaction again.
  Review Business Processes: If you are unsure why a future date is required, consult with your business process owner or SAP functional consultant to understand the business logic behind the requirement.
  System Configuration: If the error persists and you believe the date should be accepted, it may be necessary to review the configuration settings in the FICA module. This may require assistance from an SAP Basis or FICA consultant.
