• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FK154 - There are months that have fewer than & days ?

  The SAP error message FK154 ("There are months that have fewer than & days") typically occurs during the processing of financial documents, particularly when dealing with fiscal year variants and posting periods. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the number of days in a month and the configuration of the fiscal year variant.
  Cause:
  
  Fiscal Year Variant Configuration: The fiscal year variant may be incorrectly configured, leading to discrepancies in the number of days assigned to certain months. For example, if February is configured to have 30 days, this will trigger the error.
  Posting Periods: The posting periods may not align correctly with the actual calendar months, especially if there are custom fiscal year settings.
