• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD221 - Validity cannot end on &1; this grant has fixed assets valid from &2 on. ?

  The SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD221 indicates that there is an issue with the validity period of a grant in the context of fixed assets. Specifically, the error states that the validity cannot end on a certain date because the grant has fixed assets that are valid from an earlier date.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the validity period of a grant and the validity period of the associated fixed assets. The system is enforcing a rule that prevents the end date of the grant from being set to a date that is earlier than the start date of any fixed assets linked to that grant.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Grant Validity Dates:
  
  Review the validity dates of the grant in question. Ensure that the end date you are trying to set is later than the start date of any associated fixed assets.
  
  
  
  Review Fixed Assets:
  
  Identify the fixed assets linked to the grant. Check their validity periods to understand why the error is occurring. You can do this by navigating to the asset master data in SAP.
  
  
  
  Adjust Dates:
  
  If necessary, adjust the end date of the grant to a date that is after the start date of the fixed assets. Alternatively, if the fixed assets are no longer relevant, consider adjusting their validity periods if that is appropriate.
