• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD185 - Validity cannot end on &1; this fund has hierarchies valid from &2 on. ?

  The SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD185 indicates that there is an issue with the validity period of a fund in the context of Fund Management (FM) within SAP. Specifically, the error states that the validity of a fund cannot end on a certain date because there are hierarchies associated with that fund that are valid from a later date.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to end the validity of a fund on a date that conflicts with the validity of its associated hierarchies. In other words, if a fund is set to be valid until a certain date, but there are hierarchies that are valid from a later date, the system will not allow you to end the fund's validity on that date.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Hierarchies: Review the hierarchies associated with the fund in question. Identify the valid dates for these hierarchies and ensure that they do not overlap with the fund's validity period.
  
  
  Adjust Validity Dates: If the hierarchies are valid from a date that is later than the fund's intended end date, you will need to either:
  
  Change the end date of the fund to a date that is before the start date of the hierarchies.
  Adjust the hierarchies to ensure they are valid within the fund's validity period.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on Fund Management to understand the implications of changing validity dates and how it may affect reporting and financial processes.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the changes in a development or test environment to ensure that the error is resolved and that there are no unintended consequences.
  
  
  Seek Help: If you are unsure about how to proceed or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or a consultant with expertise in Fund Management.
