• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KD062 - You can only reset the "Valid to" period as far back as & & ?

  The SAP error message KD062 indicates that you are trying to reset the "Valid to" date of a master record (such as a cost center or internal order) to a date that is earlier than the allowed period. This typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) modules, where the validity periods of master data are strictly enforced to maintain data integrity and consistency.

  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to limit changes to certain periods based on business rules.
