    Solution:

    1. Check Fiscal Year/Period Status:

      • Go to the transaction code OB52 to check the status of the fiscal year and periods. Ensure that the period you are trying to post to is open.

      • If you are unsure about making changes, consult with your finance team or SAP administrator to ensure compliance with financial policies.
