• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C+155 - &1 materials have no period records in period &2 ?

  The SAP error message C+155 indicates that there are no period records for the specified materials in the specified period. This typically occurs in the context of inventory management or material valuation, where the system is trying to access data for a specific period but cannot find any records for the materials in question.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Period Records: The most common cause is that the system does not have any records for the specified materials in the specified period. This could be due to:
  
  No transactions (goods movements, inventory adjustments, etc.) were posted for those materials during that period.
  The period has not been opened for posting in the system.
  Data was archived or deleted for that period.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Period: The period specified in the error message may not be valid or may not correspond to the fiscal year or accounting period in which the materials were supposed to have transactions.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master or in the settings for the valuation area that prevent the system from recognizing the period records.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Period Status: Verify that the period in question is open for posting. You can do this by checking the period status in the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code OB52 for controlling periods).
  
  
  Review Material Transactions: Check if there were any transactions posted for the materials in the specified period. You can use transaction codes like MB51 (Material Document List) to see if there are any postings.
  
  
  Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up and that the valuation area is properly configured. You can check this using transaction code MM03.
  
  
  Repost Transactions: If transactions were mistakenly not posted, you may need to repost them for the relevant period.
  
  
  Consult with Finance: If the issue persists, consult with your finance or controlling team to ensure that the periods are correctly configured and that there are no underlying issues with the financial postings.
  
  
  Check for Archiving: If data has been archived, you may need to restore it or check the archiving settings to ensure that the necessary data is available for reporting.
