  Run the Report in the Correct Period: To resolve this error, you need to ensure that you are running the report in the last period of the month. Check the current period in your SAP system and wait until the last period of the month to execute the report.
  Check Period Status: Verify the status of the periods in the financial closing cockpit or through transaction codes like OB52 (to check the open and closed periods) to ensure that you are in the correct period.
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation or guidelines related to the specific report you are trying to run. There may be additional instructions or prerequisites that need to be followed.
