The SAP error message GK505 ("More than one period category includes period &") typically occurs in the context of financial or controlling modules when there is a conflict in the period categories defined for a specific period. This can happen when multiple period categories are set up to include the same period, leading to ambiguity in how the system should process transactions for that period.
Cause: Duplicate Period Categories: There are multiple period categories defined in the system that overlap for the same period.
Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the period category settings, where the same period is assigned to more than one category. Data Entry Errors: Manual errors during the setup of period categories or during the assignment of periods to categories.
Solution: Review Period Categories: Go to the configuration settings for period categories in SAP (Transaction Code: OB52 or similar). Check the definitions of the period categories and identify any overlaps or duplicates. Adjust Configuration: Modify the period
