• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES957 - No manual posting available on key date & ?

  The SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES957 ("No manual posting available on key date &") typically occurs in the context of financial accounting or controlling when a user attempts to perform a manual posting or adjustment on a date for which the system does not allow such actions. This can happen for various reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Closed Periods: The posting period may be closed for manual entries. In SAP, financial periods can be closed to prevent further postings, which is a common practice at the end of a fiscal period.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to restrict manual postings for certain key dates or periods.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform manual postings for the specified date.
  Posting Date Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions set in the configuration that prevent postings on certain dates (e.g., weekends, holidays).
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Posting Periods: Verify if the posting period is open. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code OB52 (Change View "Posting Periods": Overview) and checking the status of the relevant periods.
  Adjust Configuration: If the posting period is closed but you need to make a manual posting, you may need to temporarily open the period. This should be done with caution and typically requires appropriate authorization.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform manual postings. This can be checked in the user roles and authorizations.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the policies regarding manual postings, consult with your finance or accounting team to understand the implications of changing posting periods or configurations.
  Use Alternative Transactions: If manual posting is not allowed, consider using alternative transactions or methods to achieve the desired financial adjustments.
  
  Related Information:
