• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5D144 - Time period overlaps fiscal year change: & & ?

  The SAP error message 5D144, which states "Time period overlaps fiscal year change: & &", typically occurs when there is an attempt to post a transaction that falls within a time period that overlaps with a fiscal year change. This can happen in various modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO), when the system detects that the posting date is in a period that overlaps with the transition from one fiscal year to another.
  Cause:
  
  Fiscal Year Change: The fiscal year has been defined in such a way that there is a change in periods, and the posting date of the transaction falls into a range that overlaps with this change.
  Period Locking: The periods may be locked for posting in the new fiscal year, but the transaction is trying to post in a period that is not open for posting.
  Incorrect Date: The date of the transaction may be incorrectly set, leading to it falling into an overlapping period.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Fiscal Year Settings: Review the fiscal year variant settings in the configuration (transaction code OB29) to ensure that the periods are defined correctly and that there are no overlaps.
  Open/Close Periods: Ensure that the periods for both the current and new fiscal year are correctly opened or closed. You can check this in transaction code OB52, where you can manage the posting periods.
  Adjust Posting Date: If the posting date of the transaction is incorrect, adjust it to fall within an open period.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the fiscal year settings or period openings, consult with your finance team or SAP administrator to ensure compliance with accounting policies.
  Transaction Type: Ensure that the type of transaction you are trying to post is allowed in the current period.
