  The SAP error message ACE414 "No accrual type found for periodic postings" typically occurs in the context of financial accounting and controlling when the system is unable to find a valid accrual type for a periodic posting. This can happen during the execution of periodic processes such as month-end closing, where accruals are necessary to ensure that expenses and revenues are recognized in the correct accounting period.
  Causes:
