• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FITVPS375 - Documents exist that have a date after the new period end date; check ?

  The SAP error message FITVPS375 indicates that there are documents in the system that have a posting date later than the new period end date you are trying to set. This typically occurs when you are attempting to close a financial period, but there are still open transactions or documents that have dates beyond the period you are trying to close.
  Cause:
  
  Open Transactions: There are transactions (like invoices, journal entries, etc.) that have a posting date after the new period end date.
  Incorrect Period End Date: The new period end date you are trying to set is earlier than the posting dates of existing documents.
  Pending Documents: There may be documents that are pending approval or processing that have future dates.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Open Documents:
  
  Use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) to check for documents with posting dates beyond the new period end date.
  You can also use reports like S_ALR_87012357 (for open items) to identify any outstanding documents.
  
  
  
  Review and Adjust Dates:
  
  If you find documents with future posting dates, you may need to either change their posting dates (if appropriate) or resolve any issues preventing their processing.
  If the documents are not needed, consider reversing or deleting them.
  
  
  
  Close Periods in Sequence:
  
  Ensure that you are closing periods in the correct sequence. If you are trying to close a period that is dependent on another open period, you may need to close the earlier period first.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team:
  
  Discuss with your finance or accounting team to ensure that all necessary transactions are accounted for and that there are no pending approvals.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code OB52:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can temporarily open the period for specific accounts using transaction code OB52 to allow for necessary postings.
