• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_MM_RECON101 - Invalid period selected ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_MM_RECON101, which states "Invalid period selected," typically occurs in the context of the reconciliation between the General Ledger (G/L) and Materials Management (MM) in SAP. This error can arise during the execution of the reconciliation process, particularly when trying to post or analyze data for a period that is not valid or open in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Closed Posting Period: The period you are trying to access may have been closed for posting. In SAP, each fiscal year is divided into periods, and if a period is closed, no transactions can be posted to it.
  Incorrect Fiscal Year: The fiscal year you are trying to access may not match the fiscal year settings in your configuration.
  Period Locking: There may be specific locks on the period due to various reasons, such as month-end closing activities or other financial processes.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the fiscal year variant or the posting periods in the system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Posting Periods:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB52 to check the posting periods. Ensure that the period you are trying to access is open for posting.
  If the period is closed, you may need to open it temporarily for the necessary transactions, but be cautious as this can affect financial reporting.
  
  
  
  Verify Fiscal Year Settings:
  
  Ensure that the fiscal year settings in your configuration match the year you are trying to access. This can be checked in the configuration settings under Financial Accounting (FI) > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Fiscal Year > Maintain Fiscal Year Variant.
  
  
  
  Review Period Locking:
  
  Check if there are any specific locks on the period due to month-end or year-end closing activities. You may need to coordinate with your finance team to understand if any processes are currently running that would lock the period.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance. They may be able to provide insights based on system logs or specific configurations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  OB52: To manage posting periods.
  FBL3N: To view G/L account line items.
