This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or postings where the system is trying to process data that is outside the allowed accounting periods.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Accounting Periods:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB52 (or the relevant transaction for your version) to check the open and closed periods for the relevant company code and fiscal year.
  If the period is closed, you may need to open it temporarily to allow the posting, but this should be done with caution and typically requires authorization.
