  The SAP error message FICUSTOM109 indicates that a clearing operation is being attempted in a closed fiscal year for a Funds Management (FM) transaction. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to reverse or clear a transaction that has already been posted in a fiscal year that is no longer open for posting.
  Cause:
  
  Closed Fiscal Year: The fiscal year in question has been closed, meaning that no further postings or adjustments can be made to that year.
  Clearing Attempt: The system is trying to reverse or clear a transaction that was posted in that closed fiscal year.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Funds Management module that restrict certain actions in closed years.
