FK033 - Details

• The SAP error message FK033, which states "Date cannot be before 01.01.0001," typically occurs when a date field in a financial transaction or document is set to a value that is earlier than the minimum date allowed by the SAP system. This minimum date is set to January 1, 0001, and any attempt to enter a date before this will trigger the error.

  System Configuration: In some cases, custom configurations or enhancements may inadvertently allow for invalid date entries.
  Default Values: If a program or transaction is set to use a default date that is invalid, it can lead to this error.
