• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMRE_RECURRING002 - End Of Period setting not allowed for time basis &1 ?

  The SAP error message FMRE_RECURRING002 indicates that there is an issue with the "End Of Period" setting for a recurring document in the context of Funds Management (FM). Specifically, the error occurs when the time basis specified for the recurring document does not allow for an "End Of Period" setting.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Incompatible Time Basis: The time basis you have selected for the recurring document does not support the "End Of Period" setting. For example, if the time basis is set to a frequency that does not align with the end of a period (like daily or weekly), the system will throw this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Funds Management module that restrict the use of "End Of Period" for certain time bases.
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type associated with the recurring document may have restrictions that prevent the use of "End Of Period".
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Time Basis: Review the time basis you have selected for the recurring document. Ensure that it is compatible with the "End Of Period" setting. If it is not, consider changing the time basis to one that allows for this setting.
  
  
  Modify Document Settings: If the time basis is correct, check the settings of the recurring document. You may need to adjust the settings to remove the "End Of Period" option if it is not necessary for your use case.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, review the Funds Management configuration to ensure that the time basis and document types are set up correctly. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on the specific time basis and its compatibility with the "End Of Period" setting.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the recurring document creation again to ensure that the error is resolved.
