• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C+835 - Post closing is already allowed ?

  The SAP error message C+835 ("Post closing is already allowed") typically occurs in the context of financial closing processes, particularly when trying to post transactions in a period that has already been marked as closed for posting. This can happen in various modules, including Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO).
  Cause:
  
  Period Closing: The error indicates that the posting period you are trying to post to has already been closed. In SAP, periods are often closed to prevent further postings, ensuring that financial statements are accurate and reflect the state of accounts at a specific time.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the financial module may have been set to allow or disallow postings in certain periods, and the period in question has been set to disallow postings.
  User Authorization: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorization to post in a closed period, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Period Status: Verify the status of the posting period in question. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code OB52 (Change Posting Periods) to see if the period is indeed closed.
  Open the Period: If you have the necessary authorization, you can open the period for posting. This is done in the same transaction (OB52) by adjusting the allowed posting periods.
  Post in an Open Period: If the period is closed and you cannot open it, consider posting the transaction in the next open period. This is often the best practice to maintain the integrity of financial data.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of opening a closed period, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with internal policies and regulations.
  Check User Roles: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to post in the desired periods. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your roles.
