  Configuration Issues: The system may not be configured to handle cross-year payment summaries, leading to this error.
  Incorrect Posting Periods: The posting periods for the financial years may not be correctly set up or may be closed, preventing transactions from being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Payment Summary Dates: Review the payment summary dates to ensure that all transactions fall within the same financial year. If they do not, you may need to split the payment summary into separate entries for each financial year.
  Adjust Posting Periods: Ensure that the posting periods for both financial years are open. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code OB52 (Maintain Posting Periods) and checking the status of the relevant periods.
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to payment processing and fiscal year settings. Ensure that the system is set up to handle cross-year transactions if that is a requirement for your business processes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling payment summaries and fiscal year-end processes.
