• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 63422 - Posting date is not in selected calendar year ?

  The SAP error message 63422, "Posting date is not in selected calendar year," typically occurs when you attempt to post a transaction with a posting date that falls outside the fiscal year or calendar year that is currently selected in the system. This can happen in various modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO), where the system restricts postings to a specific period.
  Cause:
  
  Posting Date Issue: The posting date of the transaction you are trying to process is not within the range of the fiscal year or calendar year that is currently open for posting.
  Fiscal Year Settings: The fiscal year settings in the system may not include the year of the posting date.
  Period Locking: The period for the posting date may be closed or locked, preventing any transactions from being posted in that period.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Posting Date: Verify the posting date of the transaction you are trying to post. Ensure that it falls within the open fiscal year or calendar year.
  Open the Fiscal Year: If the posting date is correct but falls in a closed fiscal year, you may need to open that fiscal year in the system. This can be done by:
  
  Navigating to the transaction code OB52 (Change View "Posting Periods": Overview).
  Adjusting the periods to allow postings for the required fiscal year.
  
  
  Adjust Period Settings: If the period is locked, you may need to unlock it or adjust the settings to allow postings for that specific period.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about changing fiscal year settings or period locks, consult with your finance team or SAP administrator to ensure compliance with accounting policies.
