  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message T4090 - The flow took place earlier than rollover term & ?

    The SAP error message T4090, which states "The flow took place earlier than rollover term," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or postings that are related to periods or fiscal year-end processes. This error indicates that a transaction is being processed in a period that is not valid due to the rollover term settings in the system.

    Cause:

    1. Rollover Term Settings: The error usually arises when a transaction is attempted in a period that has already been closed or rolled over. This can happen if the system is configured to prevent postings in closed periods.
    2. Posting Date: The posting date of the transaction may fall into a period that is not open for posting, often due to the fiscal year-end closing activities.
    3. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the financial module that restrict transactions based on the fiscal year or period settings.

    Solution:

    1. Check Posting Periods: Verify the posting periods in the system. Ensure that the period you are trying to post to is open. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code OB52 (for controlling posting periods) and checking the settings.
    2. Adjust Posting Date: If the posting date of the transaction is incorrect, adjust it to a valid open period.
    3. Review Rollover Settings: Check the rollover term settings in the configuration. If necessary, adjust the settings to allow for the required transactions.
    4. Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the correct periods or settings, consult with your finance team or SAP administrator to ensure compliance with financial policies.
    5. Transaction Type: Ensure that the type of transaction you are trying to post is allowed in the current period. Some transactions may have specific restrictions based on the fiscal calendar.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling posting periods and rollover terms.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to financial closing processes and posting period management for a better understanding of how to manage periods effectively.
    • Testing: If changes are made to the configuration or posting periods, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the changes do not adversely affect other transactions or processes.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the T4090 error and ensure that your transactions are processed correctly within the appropriate posting periods.
