• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMCA_TRM_WD_1118 - From date &1 is not valid for selected periodicity ?

  The SAP error message FMCA_TRM_WD_1118 indicates that there is an issue with the date you are trying to use in a financial transaction or report, specifically that the date is not valid for the selected periodicity. This error typically arises in the context of financial management, particularly when dealing with budgetary control or funds management.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Date: The date you have entered does not align with the expected periodicity (e.g., monthly, quarterly, yearly) defined in the system.
  Period Closure: The period you are trying to enter data for may have already been closed, making it impossible to post transactions for that period.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that define valid periods for transactions, and the date you are using does not fall within those settings.
  Fiscal Year Variant: The fiscal year variant may not be set up correctly, leading to discrepancies in valid date ranges.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Date: Verify that the date you are entering is correct and falls within the valid range for the selected periodicity.
  Review Period Status: Check if the period you are trying to post to is open. If it is closed, you may need to open it or select a different period.
  Adjust Periodicity: If the periodicity is not set correctly, you may need to adjust it to match the date you are trying to use.
  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the fiscal year variant and period settings are correctly configured.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like OB52 (to manage posting periods) to check and adjust the open and closed periods.
