• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_FOLUPART015 - Valid To & lies in the past ?

  The SAP error message WRF_FOLUPART015: "Valid To & lies in the past" typically occurs in the context of workflow or follow-up activities where a validity date ("Valid To") is expected to be current or future-dated but is found to be set in the past.
  
  Cause:
  
  The "Valid To" date field in a workflow follow-up activity or partner determination is set to a date that has already passed.
  This is often due to incorrect date entry or outdated data in the workflow configuration or master data.
  The system expects the "Valid To" date to be either today or a future date to ensure the workflow or follow-up activity is still valid and active.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the "Valid To" date:
  
  Identify the object (e.g., workflow partner, follow-up activity, or condition record) where the "Valid To" date is set.
  Verify the date and confirm it is not in the past.
  
  
  
  Update the "Valid To" date:
  
  Change the "Valid To" date to a current or future date.
  If the validity period is no longer relevant, consider removing or archiving the record.
  
  
  
  Review workflow or partner determination configuration:
  
  In case the error occurs during workflow partner determination, check the partner function validity periods.
  Adjust the validity periods in transaction codes like PFTC (for workflow tasks) or PPOMA_CRM (for partner determination in CRM).
  
  
  
  Check for custom code or enhancements:
  
  If the error arises from custom developments, review the logic that sets or validates the "Valid To" date.
  Ensure that date validations are correctly implemented.
