How To Fix RQ044 - Only in special cases should the posting date differ from current date

RQ044 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RQ - Messages for Cash Management and Forecast

• Message number: 044

• Message text: Only in special cases should the posting date differ from current date

What causes this issue?

In the posting date selection, you should normally specify only the
current date so that, during payment advice comparison, the system
selects only the items that were posted today via bank statement entry.
Otherwise, the system will select items from the past which probably
have already been compared against payment advices and thus should not
be used for a new comparison.
Selecting several days may be advisable, for example, if payment advice
comparison was not carried out yesterday.

System Response

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