ME23N and the statistics relevant delivery date(SLFDT)

Question

The system allows this field to be entered with a value of 0707.  This is a valid century year but it is so old it should not be allowed.  The system just sends the message that it is an old date.  Does anyone know how I can make the system issue an error message when the value is older than a set date or century/year?  I have been told that the factory calendar is what it checks this value against but I have looked at all factory calendars and none of them show a "from century/year" field that goes back that far.  Can anyone tell me how I can set the system up so that is issues a "hard" error message when it encounters a date older than what is desired?  Thanks

Hi,
You can check that using a field exit for SLFDT.You will need to create a field exit for this.( You can also put in your code inside any user-exit before PO save too.)
Get the valid factory calendar id. (Fn. Mod: FACTORY_CALENDAR_GET will give you all the factory calendar ids...)
You can check the validity of this factory calendar against TFACD table and issue an error message if the year is not in the limit.
Hope this helps.Let me know if you need any help in this.
