• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD184 - Validity cannot start on &1; this fund has hierarchies valid up to &2. ?

  The SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD184 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 the fund cannot start on a specified date because the fund has hierarchies that are valid only up to a certain date.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Hierarchy Validity: The fund you are trying to use has a hierarchy that is valid only until a certain date (&2). If you attempt to start the validity of the fund on a date (&1) that is after this end date, the system will throw this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the fund management settings, such as incorrect hierarchy assignments or validity periods not being properly defined.
  Data Entry Errors: There could be a mistake in the data entry where the start date is incorrectly set.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Validity:
  
  Go to the hierarchy management in SAP and check the validity periods of the hierarchies associated with the fund.
  Ensure that the start date you are trying to use is within the valid range of the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Adjust Dates:
  
  If the start date (&1) is indeed after the end date (&2), you will need to either adjust the start date to a valid period or extend the validity of the hierarchy to include the desired start date.
  
  
  
  Review Fund Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the fund and its associated hierarchies. Ensure that all settings are correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for further guidance on managing fund hierarchies and validity periods.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.

  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in fund management are trained on the importance of hierarchy validity and how to manage it effectively.
