• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FVD_MODEL035 - Key date must be after the earliest posting date ?

  The SAP error message FVD_MODEL035 indicates that the key date you are trying to use in a transaction or report is earlier than the earliest posting date defined in the system. This typically occurs in financial or controlling modules where date constraints are enforced to ensure data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Key Date Setting: The key date you are entering is set before the earliest posting date in the system. This can happen if you are trying to analyze or post data for a period that has not been opened for posting.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have specific configuration settings that restrict posting or reporting to certain periods.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a simple mistake in entering the date, such as using the wrong format or selecting the wrong date.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Earliest Posting Date:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP to find out what the earliest posting date is. This can usually be found in the financial accounting (FI) or controlling (CO) settings.
  You can check the earliest posting date in the transaction code OB52 (for controlling periods) or OB29 (for financial accounting).
  
  
  
  Adjust the Key Date:
  
  If the key date you are using is indeed earlier than the earliest posting date, adjust it to a date that is on or after the earliest posting date.
  
  
  
  Change the Posting Period:
  
  If you need to post or analyze data for a period that is currently closed, you may need to open that period in the configuration settings. This should be done with caution and typically requires appropriate authorization.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or guidelines provided by your organization regarding posting periods and key dates.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the importance of key dates and posting periods to avoid similar errors in the future.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like OB52 (for managing posting periods) and OB29 (for defining the earliest posting date).
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to change posting periods or key dates.
  Impact of Changes: Be aware that changing posting periods can have implications for financial reporting and should be done in accordance with your organization's policies.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the relevant module.
