How To Fix GA832 - The cycle was posted in current individual periods.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GA - Allocations

• Message number: 832

• Message text: The cycle was posted in current individual periods.

What causes this issue?

You execute cycle &V1&, start date &V2& in test mode. However, the
cycle is current in the system in periods &V3& so that this test run
will have differences compared to a production run.
For example, all senders in the cycle that are to allocate posted
values or quantities to 100 percent are actually credited completely
and are therefore not included in further processing (refer to further
messages in this log).
Analogously, the tracing factor values determined in test run can
differ from those in production run (for the receiver rule "variable
portions", "actual costs or planned costs" and a cost element posted by
the cycle).

System Response
