• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_MM_RECON113 - Period &1 &2 falls in the future and is moved back to &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_MM_RECON113 indicates that a financial document is being processed for a period that is considered to be in the future. This typically occurs during the reconciliation of materials management (MM) and financial accounting (FI) in SAP, particularly when trying to post or reconcile transactions that fall into a period that has not yet been opened for posting.
  Cause:
  
  Future Posting Period: The error arises when a transaction is attempted in a period that is not yet open for posting. This can happen if the posting period is set to a future date in the configuration.
  Period Control Settings: The settings in the financial accounting module may restrict postings to certain periods, and if the current date is beyond the allowed posting periods, this error will occur.
  Document Date vs. Posting Date: The document date or posting date of the transaction may be set to a future date, which is not allowed based on the current configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Posting Periods: Verify the posting periods in the configuration settings. You can do this by navigating to:
  
  Transaction Code: OB52
  Ensure that the period you are trying to post to is open for posting.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Dates: If the document date or posting date is set incorrectly, adjust it to a valid date that falls within an open posting period.
  
  
  Change Configuration: If necessary, you may need to change the configuration to allow postings to future periods, but this should be done with caution and typically requires approval from financial management.
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of changing posting periods or document dates, consult with your finance team or SAP administrator.
