This error indicates that the period specified for the settlement unit is not valid, which can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Invalid Period: The period entered for the settlement unit does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo or selecting a period that has not been defined in the fiscal calendar.

  Change Settlement Unit Status: If the settlement unit is in a status that prevents settlement, you may need to change its status or ensure that it is ready for settlement.
