• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_ACCR_DB028 - Reconciliation keys not closed for posting period &3; CoCd &1 AcctPr. &2 ?

  The SAP error message FARR_ACCR_DB028 indicates that there are reconciliation keys that have not been closed for a specific posting period, company code, and account period. This error typically arises in the context of the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module, particularly when dealing with accruals and deferrals.
  Cause:
  
  
  Open Reconciliation Keys: The primary cause of this error is that there are reconciliation keys (which are used to reconcile asset transactions) that are still open for the specified posting period. This means that the system is unable to post new transactions because it requires that all previous transactions for that period be reconciled and closed.
  
  
  Incorrect Period Status: The posting period may not be set to "closed" in the system, which can prevent new postings from being made.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the Asset Accounting settings that are preventing the reconciliation keys from being closed properly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Reconciliation Keys: 
  
  Go to the Asset Accounting module and check the reconciliation keys for the specified company code and posting period. Ensure that all necessary transactions have been processed and that there are no outstanding items.
  
  
  
  Close Posting Period:
  
  If the posting period is still open, you may need to close it. This can typically be done through the transaction code OB52 (Maintain Posting Periods). Ensure that the period is closed for the relevant company code and account type.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure that everything is set up correctly. This may involve reviewing the settings for reconciliation keys and ensuring that they are functioning as intended.
  
  
  
  Run Reconciliation Reports:
  
  Use the relevant reconciliation reports to identify any discrepancies or outstanding items that need to be addressed. This can help in pinpointing the exact cause of the issue.
