  The SAP error message ACEC_S4092, which states "Make sure closing frequency is less frequent than posting frequency," typically occurs in the context of financial closing processes in SAP, particularly when dealing with the configuration of closing and posting frequencies in the system.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the configuration settings for the closing frequency are set to a value that is equal to or more frequent than the posting frequency.

  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the configuration settings for the closing and posting frequencies. Here are the steps you can take:

  Adjust Frequencies:
  
  If the closing frequency is set to the same or a more frequent interval than the posting frequency, adjust it to be less frequent. For example, if the posting frequency is set to daily, the closing frequency should be set to weekly, monthly, or another less frequent option.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and exit the configuration settings.
