RETMPE409 - Details

• The SAP error message RETMPE409 indicates that there is a mismatch between the "Cash Flow From" date and the "Possession Date To" date in the context of a financial transaction or cash flow analysis. Specifically, it means that the date you are trying to use for cash flow is later than the latest possession date, which is not allowed in the system.
  
  Cause:
  
  Date Configuration: The "Cash Flow From" date is set to a date that is beyond the "Possession Date To." This could happen due to incorrect data entry or configuration settings in the system.
  Transaction Timing: The transaction you are trying to process is being recorded after the possession period has ended, which is not valid for cash flow calculations.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be inconsistencies in the date fields.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dates: Review the "Cash Flow From" date and the "Possession Date To" date
