• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CCIS/CCISCORRESP026 - Posting date is not in open period ?

  The SAP error message /CCIS/CCISCORRESP026 Posting date is not in open period typically occurs when you attempt to post a transaction with a posting date that falls outside of the open posting periods defined in the system. This is a common issue in financial and controlling modules where strict period control is enforced.
  Cause:
  
  Closed Posting Period: The posting date of the transaction you are trying to process is in a period that has been closed for posting. This can happen if the financial year-end closing has been performed or if the period has been manually closed by a user.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the financial module may restrict postings to certain periods, and the date you are trying to use does not meet these criteria.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Posting Periods:

  If you are unsure about changing periods or posting dates, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with financial policies and reporting requirements.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
