  The SAP error message FGV615 indicates that there is an issue with the period being selected in a financial transaction or report. Specifically, the error states that "The period cannot be greater than & (& is part-financial year)," which means that the period you are trying to enter exceeds the defined limits for the financial year in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Period Selection: The user may have selected a period that is beyond the allowed range for the financial year.
