• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD172 - Validity cannot end on &1; this fund has plan data up to &2. ?

  The SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD172 indicates that there is an issue with the validity period of a fund in the context of Public Sector Management (PSM) and Fund Management (FM). Specifically, the error states that the validity of a fund cannot end on a certain date because there is plan data associated with that fund that extends beyond that date.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to end the validity of a fund on a date (&1) that is earlier than the date (&2) for which there is existing plan data. This situation typically arises when:
  
  You are trying to close or modify a fund that has active planning data.
  The fund's validity period is being adjusted without considering the existing commitments or planned expenditures that extend beyond the proposed end date.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Plan Data: Review the plan data associated with the fund. Identify the commitments, budgets, or expenditures that are valid beyond the date you are trying to set as the end date.
  
  
  Adjust Validity Period: If the plan data is still relevant, you may need to extend the validity period of the fund to accommodate the existing plan data. Ensure that the new end date is later than the date of the plan data.
  
  
  Delete or Adjust Plan Data: If the plan data is no longer needed, you may consider deleting or adjusting it to align with the new validity period of the fund. Be cautious with this approach, as it may affect financial reporting and planning.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on fund management to ensure compliance with internal policies and procedures.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.

  Training and Documentation: Consider training sessions or reviewing documentation related to Fund Management in SAP to better understand how to manage funds and their validity periods effectively.
