• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WU132 - Date of GR plant must not be earlier than & ?

  The SAP error message WU132 ("Date of GR plant must not be earlier than &") typically occurs during the Goods Receipt (GR) process when the date entered for the goods receipt is earlier than the allowed date for the plant specified in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to post a goods receipt for a purchase order or a production order.
  Cause:
  
  Date Configuration: The system has a configuration that restricts the posting of goods receipts to certain date ranges. This is often set up to prevent backdating transactions that could lead to discrepancies in inventory and financial reporting.
  Document Date: The document date or the posting date of the goods receipt is set to a date that is earlier than the allowed date for the plant.
  Plant-Specific Settings: Each plant can have its own settings regarding the posting periods, and the date you are trying to use may fall outside of the allowed range.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Posting Date: Ensure that the posting date for the goods receipt is set to a date that is equal to or later than the allowed date for the plant. You can check the allowed posting periods in the configuration settings.
  Adjust the Document Date: If you are using a document date that is earlier than the allowed date, change it to a valid date.
  Review Plant Settings: Check the configuration for the specific plant in transaction code OMR6 (or similar) to see if there are any restrictions on posting dates.
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator: If you are unsure about the allowed dates or how to change them, consult with your SAP administrator or the person responsible for SAP configuration in your organization.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like ME23N (Display Purchase Order) or MIGO (Goods Movement) to review the details of the goods receipt and the associated purchase order.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this issue or provide additional guidance.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to post goods receipts and that your user profile is correctly set up.
