• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMCA_INCORR059 - Change to due date (period &1) does not affect existing request ?

  The SAP error message FMCA_INCORR059 indicates that a change to the due date for a specific period does not affect an existing request. This error typically arises in the context of Funds Management (FM) or Controlling (CO) modules when there is an attempt to modify a due date for a financial transaction or request that has already been processed or is in a state that does not allow for such changes.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Requests: The due date change is being attempted on a request that has already been processed or is locked in a certain state.
  Period Lock: The period for which the due date is being changed may be closed or locked, preventing any modifications.
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict changes to due dates for certain types of requests or transactions.
  Data Consistency: The system may have integrity checks that prevent changes to ensure data consistency across related documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Request Status: Verify the status of the request you are trying to modify. If it has already been processed, you may need to create a new request or reverse the existing one before making changes.
  Period Management: Ensure that the period you are trying to change is open for posting. If it is closed, you may need to open it or adjust your request accordingly.
  Review Configuration: Consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to review the configuration settings related to due date changes in the Funds Management or Controlling modules.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like FMX1 (for creating requests) or FMX2 (for changing requests) to manage your requests properly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling due date changes in your version of SAP.
