This typically occurs when you are trying to execute a report with a variant that specifies a different fiscal year than what is set in the report parameters.
  Cause:
  
  Variant Configuration: The variant you are using for the report has a fiscal year that does not match the fiscal year defined in the report settings.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Variant:
  
  Go to the transaction where the report is executed (e.g., SE38 for ABAP reports).
  Open the variant used for the report and check the fiscal year setting.
  Ensure that the fiscal year in the variant matches the fiscal year in the report parameters.
  
  
  
  Modify the Variant:
  
  If the fiscal year in the variant is incorrect, modify it to match the fiscal year of the report.
  Save the changes and try running the report again.
  
  
  
  Adjust Report Parameters:
  
  Alternatively, if you need to run the report for a different fiscal year, you can adjust the report parameters to match the fiscal year defined in the variant.
  
  
  
  Create a New Variant:
  
  If necessary, create a new variant that correctly reflects the desired fiscal year and use that for running the report.
