• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAP_CMP005 - You have selected items that are not open ?

  The SAP error message FAP_CMP005 ("You have selected items that are not open") typically occurs in the context of financial accounting or asset management when you attempt to process or manipulate items (such as assets, invoices, or other financial documents) that are not in an open status. This can happen in various transactions, such as when trying to post a document, run a report, or perform a reconciliation.
  Causes:
  
  Closed Periods: The items you are trying to select may belong to a closed accounting period. If the period is closed, you cannot post or modify transactions related to that period.
  Status of Items: The items may have been marked as closed or inactive in the system. This could be due to prior processing or manual changes.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions that prevent them from being processed if they are not in an open status.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify certain items, leading to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Period Status: Verify if the accounting period for the items you are trying to process is open. You can do this by checking the period status in the financial accounting settings.
  
  Use transaction code OB52 to view and adjust the open and closed periods.
  
  
  
  Review Item Status: Check the status of the items you are trying to select. Ensure that they are not marked as closed or inactive.
  
  You can use transaction codes like AS03 (Display Asset) or FB03 (Display Document) to check the status of specific items.
  
  
  
  Reopen Periods: If necessary and if you have the appropriate permissions, you can reopen the accounting period to allow for the processing of the items.
  
  Be cautious with this approach, as it may have implications for financial reporting and compliance.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator: If you are unsure about the status of the items or how to proceed, consult with your SAP administrator or financial team. They can provide insights into the specific configurations and restrictions in your SAP environment.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify the items in question. If not, you may need to request additional permissions from your SAP security team.
