  The SAP error message FK139, which states "Please enter the year between & and &," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with fiscal year settings in the system. This error indicates that the year you are trying to enter is outside the allowed range defined in the system configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Fiscal Year Settings: The fiscal year settings in SAP define the range of years that can be used for transactions. If you attempt to enter a year that is not within this range, you will encounter this error.
  Document Date: The document date or posting date you are trying to use may fall outside the defined fiscal year range.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the fiscal year variant or the periods that have been opened or closed in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB29 (or navigate through the menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Fiscal Year > Maintain Fiscal Year Variant).
  Verify the fiscal year variant settings and ensure that the year you are trying to enter is within the defined range.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Date:
  
  Ensure that the document date you are entering is within the allowed fiscal year range. If necessary, change the document date to a valid year.
  
  
  
  Open/Close Periods:
  
  Check if the periods for the fiscal year are open. You can do this using transaction code OB52 (or navigate through the menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Periods > Open and Close Posting Periods).
  If the period is closed, you may need to open it or adjust your posting date accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you do not have access to change these settings, consult with your SAP configuration team or system administrator to ensure that the fiscal year settings are correct and that you have the necessary permissions to post in the desired year.
