  The SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD175 indicates that there is an issue with the validity period of a budget in the context of Funds Management (FM) within SAP. Specifically, the error states that the validity cannot start on a certain date because the budget period has plan data from an earlier date.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  Plan Data Exists: There is already plan data (e.g., budget or commitment) recorded for the budget period that overlaps with the validity period you are trying to set.
  Incorrect Validity Dates: The validity start date you are trying to set is earlier than the date of existing plan data.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Funds Management module that are not aligned with the intended budget periods.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
