  The SAP error message ICC_TR202, which states "Posting date (&1) not in period &2," typically occurs when you attempt to post a transaction with a posting date that falls outside the allowed posting periods defined in the system. This is a common issue in financial transactions, and it can arise in various modules, including Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO).
  Cause:
  
  Closed Posting Period: The posting date you are trying to use is in a period that has already been closed for posting. This is often the case at the end of a fiscal year or month when the accounting periods are locked to prevent further changes.
  Incorrect Posting Date: The date entered may be incorrect or not aligned with the current fiscal year or month.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the system may restrict posting to certain periods based on company policies or accounting practices.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Posting Periods:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB52 (or use the menu path: Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Document > Posting Periods > Open and Close Posting Periods).
  Verify the posting periods that are open for the relevant company code and fiscal year. Ensure that the posting date you are trying to use falls within an open period.
  
  
  
  Change Posting Date:
  
  If the posting date is incorrect, change it to a valid date that falls within an open posting period.
  
  
  
  Open the Posting Period:
  
  If necessary, you can open the posting period for the relevant company code and fiscal year. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires authorization, as it may affect financial reporting and compliance.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about changing posting periods or dates, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with internal policies.
