CK341
- Releasing has not yet been allowed for posting period &2 &3 ?The SAP error message CK341, which states "Releasing has not yet been allowed for posting period &2 &3," typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and material management (MM) when trying to release a cost estimate or perform a related action in a period that has not been opened for posting.
Cause:
- Closed Posting Period: The most common cause of this error is that the posting period for the specified month and year (represented by &2 and &3 in the error message) is closed. In SAP, each fiscal year is divided into posting periods, and if a period is closed, no transactions can be posted to it.
- Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the controlling module may restrict the release of cost estimates or other related activities for certain periods.
- Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform actions in a closed period.
Solution:
Open the Posting Period:
- Navigate to the transaction code OB52 (or use the appropriate path in your SAP GUI).
- Check the settings for the relevant company code and fiscal year.
- If necessary, open the posting period for the required month and year to allow the release of the cost estimate.
Check Configuration:
- Review the configuration settings in the controlling module to ensure that the release of cost estimates is allowed for the desired periods.
- This may involve checking the settings in the controlling area or the specific cost object.
User Authorizations:
- Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the action in the specified period. This may involve checking user roles and permissions.
Consult with Finance Team:
- If you are unsure about opening a posting period or the implications of doing so, consult with your finance or controlling team to ensure compliance with accounting policies.
