Symptom

Error: "Shipment Date must be between DD.MM.YYYY and Today" while performing undo release of Third-Party Delivery Notification

Environment

SAP Business Bydesign

Reproducing the Issue

Go to Third-Party Order Fulfilment work center.
Go to Third-Party Delivery Notification view.
Select the Third-Party Delivery Notification ABC (ABC represents Third-Party Delivery Notification ID)
Choose Actions, Select “Undo Release.”
The following error message is displayed:
“Shipment Date must be between DD.MM.YYYY and Today.”

Cause

The Shipment Date in the Third-Party Delivery Notification is older than six months.
It is a standard system restriction that prevents inventory postings beyond six months in the past. This control is designed to ensure that logistics processes are completed within six months in order to maintain data consistency within the system.

Resolution

Follow the below steps to extend the posting period:

Go to the Business Configuration work center.
Go to the Implementation Projects view.
Select an active project.
Choose Edit Project Scope.
In the Scoping step, ensure that Inventory Postings is selected within Manufacturing, Warehousing and Logistics -> Inventory Management.
In the Questions step, expand the Manufacturing, Warehousing and Logistics scoping element and select Inventory Management.
Select Inventory Postings and check the In Scope box for the question "Do you want to extend the posting period beyond 6 months?"

Note: The above steps allow the system to post the document only if it is older than six months and within two years in the past.
