  The SAP error message "2555: Posting run is currently active" typically occurs when you attempt to execute a posting run (such as a batch input session or a financial posting) while another posting run is already in progress. This is a safeguard mechanism in SAP to prevent data inconsistencies that could arise from multiple concurrent posting processes.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Posting Runs: Another user or process is currently executing a posting run, which locks the system for additional posting runs.

  Check for Errors:
