How To Fix T4191 - Correction date is between start of term (exclusive) &1 and term end &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: T4 - Time deposit processing

• Message number: 191

• Message text: Correction date is between start of term (exclusive) &1 and term end &2

What causes this issue?

Correction date should be between the start of term (exclusive of start
date) and the end of term (inclusive of end date), which are maintained
in the previous activity. For example, if the previous activity was a
fiduciary adjustment, then the adjustment date becomes the start of term
for the previous activity. So the correction date should be greater than
the adjustment date and prior, or equal, to the end of term date.
Similarly, if the previous activity was a correction, then the current
correction date should be greater than the previous activity start date
(which is the correction date) and prior, or equal to, the end of term
date.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message T4191 - Correction date is between start of term (exclusive) &1 and term end &2 ?

  The SAP error message T4191 indicates that there is an issue with the correction date in relation to the defined term dates for a specific contract or agreement. This error typically arises in the context of contract management or pricing conditions where the correction date falls outside the valid range of the term.
  Cause:
  The error message "Correction date is between start of term (exclusive) &1 and term end &2" suggests that the correction date you are trying to enter is not valid because:
  
  The correction date is set to a date that is after the start of the term but before the end of the term.
  The start date of the term is exclusive, meaning the correction date cannot be equal to or fall on that date.
  The correction date is likely being checked against the validity period of a contract, pricing condition, or other related data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Correction Date: Ensure that the correction date you are trying to enter is valid. It should be:
  
  Before the start date of the term (if the start date is exclusive).
  After the end date of the term.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Term Dates: If the correction date is necessary and valid, consider adjusting the term dates to accommodate the correction date. This may involve:
  
  Extending the end date of the term.
  Changing the start date of the term if applicable.
  
  
  
  Review Contract/Agreement Settings: Check the settings of the contract or agreement to ensure that the term dates are correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies.
