  The SAP error message FARR_ACCR_UI029 indicates that a date you are trying to use for a transaction does not fall within the specified posting period for the company code. This typically occurs when you attempt to post a transaction (like an accrual) for a date that is outside the allowed posting periods defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Closed Posting Period: The posting period for the date you are trying to use has been closed. This can happen if the period is in the past and has been closed for posting.
  Incorrect Date: The date you are entering may be incorrect or not aligned with the current fiscal year or period settings.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Posting Periods:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB52 (or use the menu path: Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Periodic Processing > Open and Close Posting Periods).
  Verify the posting periods for the relevant company code and fiscal year. Ensure that the period you are trying to post to is open.

  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about changing posting periods or if there are specific business rules in place, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with internal policies.
