WRF_FOLUPART014 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  WRF_FOLUPART014 Valid From & lies in the past
  
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Workflow or related modules when a date field labeled "Valid From" (or similar) is entered with a date value that is earlier than the current system date or an expected reference date. The system expects the "Valid From" date to be either today or a future date, but the entered date lies in the past, which violates the validation rules.
  In other words, the workflow or object validity period cannot start in the past relative to the system's current date or the context in which the date is being validated.
  
  When does it occur?

  When entering validity dates for partner functions, organizational units, or other entities in workflow or related customizing.
  During data entry in transaction codes related to workflow or document management where validity dates are
