• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD302 - Validity cannot end on &1; this fund has cost center valid from &2 on. ?

  The SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD302 indicates that there is an issue with the validity period of a fund in relation to a cost center. Specifically, the error states that the validity of the fund cannot end on a certain date because the associated cost center has a validity that starts later than that date.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the context of Public Sector Management (PSM) when you are trying to post a transaction or make a change that involves a fund and a cost center. The specific cause of the error is that the fund's validity period is set to end on a date (&1), but the cost center associated with that fund is not valid until a later date (&2). This creates a conflict because the system requires that the cost center must be valid for the entire duration of the fund's validity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Validity Dates:
  
  Review the validity dates of both the fund and the cost center. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration or master data screens in SAP.
  Ensure that the cost center is valid for the entire period that the fund is intended to be used.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods:
  
  If the cost center's validity period is incorrect, you may need to extend its validity to cover the required dates.
  Alternatively, if the fund's validity period is incorrect, you may need to adjust it to align with the cost center's validity.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change the validity periods, consult with your SAP configuration team or the person responsible for maintaining master data in your organization.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
