SAP Message ACE504 - Simulation is not permitted: Start date &1 later than key date &2

Diagnosis
You want to carry out a simulation for Accrual Engine data.
The key date (end date) for simulation &V1& was either entered manuallyby the user or determined/adjusted by the system.
The system adjusts the key date to the end of the accrual object'speriod of validity.
As start date for the simulation, the system determined date &V2&.
The start date is set as
the day following the last actual posting, or, if no postings have beenmade yet,
the start of the accrual object's period of validity.
The following accrual object is affected:

  • Internal presentation of the accrual object (GUID): &V3&

  • Internal presentation of the accrual subobject: &V4&
  • System Response
    The start date for the simulation is later than the end date.
    It is therefore not possible to carry out a simulation for this accrualobject.
