• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSBP_MIGCS026 - Partner &1: Key date is initial and is set to today's date ?

  The SAP error message FSBP_MIGCS026 typically occurs during the migration of business partner data, particularly when the key date for a partner is not set correctly. This error indicates that the key date for the business partner is initialized (i.e., it has not been set) and is defaulting to today's date, which is not acceptable for the migration process.
  Cause:
  
  Key Date Initialization: The key date for the business partner is not defined or is set to an initial value (e.g., blank or null).
  Data Migration Issues: During the migration process, the system expects a valid key date that reflects the date of the business partner's data validity. If this is not provided, the system defaults to the current date, leading to this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the business partner data model that require a specific key date format or value.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Set a Valid Key Date: Ensure that the key date for the business partner is set to a valid date that reflects the intended validity period of the business partner data. This can usually be done in the business partner master data transaction or during the migration process.
  
  
  Check Migration Data: Review the data being migrated to ensure that all required fields, including the key date, are populated correctly. If you are using a migration tool or template, ensure that the key date field is included and filled out properly.
  
  
  Adjust Migration Settings: If you are using a migration tool (like LSMW or SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit), check the settings and mappings to ensure that the key date is being correctly assigned from the source data.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or notes related to business partner migration for any specific requirements regarding key dates.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test migration with a small set of data to ensure that the error does not occur again.
