How To Fix G00058 - Cannot close period because task group &1 is group-dependent

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G00 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 058

• Message text: Cannot close period because task group &1 is group-dependent

What causes this issue?

The period should be closed. As the quantity of tasks (from task group
&V1&), which are displayed at present, are only a partial quantity of
all tasks to be executed in dimension &V2&, version &V3& and period
&V4&, closing the period is not possible in this monitor display:
In dimension &V2& all relevant tasks have not been executed and blocked
yet. The displayed overall status "Complete" only refers to the
displayed quantity of tasks.
If the possibility existed here, to close the period, in a more global
consolidation monitor, you would be forced to re-open the period for
the execution of the tasks which are not displayed here. Therefore this
function is only possible in a monitor display, in which all tasks are
displayed.
