  Open the Period: If the period is closed, you may need to open it in the system. This typically requires access to the financial closing settings and may involve coordination with the finance team.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for price determination in the material ledger or controlling area. Ensure that the settings allow for price determination for the required periods.
  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the action. If not, the user may need to request additional permissions from the system administrator.
