• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR458 - The valid-from date must be after the start of subsequent processing ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VR458:
  
  SAP Error Message: VR458
  Text: The valid-from date must be after the start of subsequent processing
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to enter or maintain a condition record (e.g., pricing condition) with a valid-from date that is earlier than or equal to the start date of subsequent processing in the system.
  In SAP pricing or condition maintenance, the system enforces that the validity period of condition records must not overlap or conflict with the periods already processed or locked for subsequent processing. This is to ensure data consistency and avoid retroactive changes that could affect already processed documents or calculations.
  In other words:  
  
  The "valid-from" date you entered is not later than the "start of subsequent processing" date maintained in the system.
  The system expects the new condition record to be valid only after the date from which subsequent processing begins.
  
  
  Where does the "start of subsequent processing" come from?
  
  This date is typically maintained in the system to mark the point from which changes to condition records or pricing are allowed.
  It can be set in customizing or system parameters to prevent changes to historical data that has already been processed or settled.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the "valid-from" date you are trying to enter for the condition record.  
  
  Make sure it is after the "start of subsequent processing" date.
  
  
  
  Check the "start of subsequent processing" date in the system:  
  
  This date is often maintained in customizing or via transaction codes related to pricing or condition maintenance.
  For example, in pricing, it might be related to the "Start of Subsequent Processing" date in the condition tables or pricing procedure settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust the valid-from date to a date later than the start of subsequent processing date.
  
  
  If you need to change the start of subsequent processing date (not usually recommended without proper authorization), consult your SAP administrator or basis team. This date is set to protect data integrity.

  SAP Notes:  
  
  Check SAP Notes related to pricing and condition validity periods if you suspect a system inconsistency.
  
  
  Business impact:  
  
  This validation prevents retroactive changes to pricing or conditions that could affect already processed sales documents or accounting entries.
  
  
  Customization:  
  
  The "start of subsequent processing" date might be set in IMG under Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control.
