  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message U6074 - To-Date &1 &2 comes after the security margin SY-DATE - &3 ?

    The SAP error message U6074 indicates that there is an issue with the date range specified in a transaction or report. Specifically, the error message states that the "To-Date" you have entered is beyond the allowed security margin set in the system. The message format typically looks like this:

    U6074 To-Date &1 &2 comes after the security margin SY-DATE - &3

    Cause:

    1. Date Range Violation: The "To-Date" you are trying to enter is later than the current date minus a defined security margin. This security margin is a safeguard to prevent users from entering dates that are too far in the future or past, which could lead to data integrity issues.
    2. Configuration Settings: The security margin is usually defined in the system settings, and it can vary based on the organization's policies or the specific module being used.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Dates: Review the "To-Date" you are trying to enter. Ensure that it is within the acceptable range defined by the security margin.
    2. Adjust the Date: If the "To-Date" is indeed beyond the allowed range, you will need to adjust it to a valid date that falls within the security margin.
    3. Review Security Margin Settings: If you believe the security margin is too restrictive for your business needs, you may need to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to review and potentially adjust the security margin settings in the system.
    4. Consult Documentation: Refer to the relevant SAP documentation or help resources for more details on how to manage date ranges and security margins in your specific SAP module.
