• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESCSU210 - &1: From-date of cost object SU cannot be outside period ?

  The SAP error message RESCSU210 indicates that there is an issue with the date settings for a cost object in the system. Specifically, the error message states that the "From-date of cost object SU cannot be outside period." This typically occurs when the date you are trying to use for a cost object (such as a cost center, internal order, or project) falls outside the allowed posting period in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Date Mismatch: The "From-date" you are trying to enter for the cost object is either before the start of the fiscal year or after the end of the fiscal year or the defined posting period.
  Period Locking: The posting period may be closed for the specified date range, preventing any transactions from being recorded in that period.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the controlling (CO) module that restrict the use of certain dates for cost objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Posting Period: Verify the current posting period in the system. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code OB52 (Change View "Posting Periods": Overview) to see which periods are open for posting.
  Adjust Dates: If the date you are trying to use is outside the open posting period, you will need to either:
  
  Change the date to fall within the open period.
  Open the required posting period if it is necessary to post transactions for that date (this should be done with caution and typically requires authorization).
  
  
  Review Cost Object Settings: Ensure that the cost object settings (like validity dates) are correctly configured and that they align with the fiscal year and periods defined in the system.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about changing periods or dates, consult with your finance or controlling team to ensure compliance with accounting policies.
  
  Related Information:
