  Future Period: The cost estimate is for a period that is beyond the current fiscal period. SAP does not allow marking of cost estimates for future periods to prevent inconsistencies in financial reporting.

  Adjust the Cost Estimate: If you need to work with future cost estimates, consider adjusting the cost estimate to the current period or consult with your finance team to determine the appropriate action.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the controlling area to see if there are any restrictions on marking future cost estimates.
