  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Date Selection: The transaction or report is being executed on a date that is not the last day of the fiscal year.
  Fiscal Year Configuration: The fiscal year settings in the system may not be correctly configured, leading to confusion about what the last date of the fiscal year is.

  Adjust Transaction Type: If the transaction you are trying to execute does not need to be restricted to the last day of the fiscal year, consider using a different transaction type or mode that allows for postings on other dates.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are trying to execute to understand its requirements better.
