This typically occurs in the context of controlling or cost accounting modules where statistical key figures are used for allocation purposes.
  Cause:
  
  
  Period Outside Allowed Range: The error suggests that the period you are trying to use (YYYYMMM) is not valid for the statistical key figure you are working with. This could be due to:
  
  The period being closed for posting.
  The statistical key figure not being defined for that specific period.
  The fiscal year variant settings that restrict the use of certain periods.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the controlling area or fiscal year variant that do not allow the use of the specified period for the SKF.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: There might be a mistake in the data entry where the period is incorrectly specified.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Period Status: Verify if the period (YYYYMMM) is open for posting in the controlling area. You can do this by checking the period status in the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code OB52 for controlling periods).
  
  
  Review SKF Configuration: Ensure that the statistical key figure is correctly configured for the fiscal year and the periods you are trying to use. You can check this in the configuration settings for statistical key figures.
  
  
  Adjust Fiscal Year Variant: If the fiscal year variant is restricting the use of certain periods, you may need to adjust the settings to allow for the required periods.
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: If the period was entered incorrectly, correct the entry to reflect a valid period.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the statistical key figures and their allowed periods.
