3703099 - Error When Creating Purchasing Info Record for Materials With Future Validity Date

Symptom

When creating a Purchasing Info Record for a material with future validity date using the Create Purchasing Info Record app the error "Material XXX not valid until DD/MM/YYYY" (XXX represents the material ID).

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Create Purchase Info Record app.
  2. Enter the material number, supplier, and purchasing organization.
  3. Select the info category.
  4. Hit Enter.

See the error message: "Material XXXX not valid until DD/MM/YYYY".

Cause

The system behavior is designed to raise an error when a material has a valid-from date in the future and a document is created in the current period. This behavior is consistent across SAP GUI for Purchase Orders, Purchase Contracts, and Scheduling Agreements. However, in SAP Fiori, the document can be created without an error message due to a system bug.

Resolution

A fix for this issue has been planned and is scheduled to be delivered in the upcoming release 2608, so all the apps have the same behavior.
