  The SAP error message 67488, "Restrict the reporting period," typically occurs when there is an attempt to execute a report or transaction that is outside the defined reporting period in the system. This can happen in various modules, such as Financial Accounting (FI), Controlling (CO), or others where time-based reporting is essential.
  Cause:
  
  Closed Periods: The reporting period may be closed for posting, meaning that no transactions can be recorded or reported for that period.
  Fiscal Year Variant: The fiscal year variant settings may restrict reporting to specific periods.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access data for the specified period.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may limit reporting to certain periods based on business rules.
  
  Solution:

  Use transaction codes like OB52 (for controlling periods) to check and adjust the open and closed periods.

  You can check this in the configuration settings under Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Fiscal Year > Define Fiscal Year Variant.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the data for the specified period. This may involve checking roles and permissions assigned to the user.
