• Message number: 073

• Message text: Function is not possible; recipe is not valid before &1

What causes this issue?

The first <DS:GLOS.3526BEEAAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>change status</> of
the recipe you selected has &V1& as the valid-from date. For this
reason, the following functions can only be executed as of this date:
Loading the recipe
Adding a new change status for the recipe
However, you have entered a <DS:DE.PVS_STTAG>key date</> or
<DS:TX.RMS_RCP_DE-AENNR>change number</> whose date is before &V1&. The
system does not execute the function.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you want to load the recipe:
Use a key date or change number whose date is after &V1&.
If you want to create a change status:
Depending on your requirements, proceed as follows:
Insert the new change status after &V1&.
Use a change number with the appropriate valid-from date. If you
generate the change number when you create the change status, enter the
valid-from date in the <LS>Key date</> field.
If you need a change status before &V1&, check the dates of the first
change status. You have the following options:
The change status was created without a change number.
In this case, you can no longer change the valid-from date.
The change status was created with a change number.
In this case, change the date of the change number to the desired date
(<DS:TRAN.CC02>Change Change Number</>).
You can then insert additional change statuses after this date.
