How To Fix K7032 - Interval may only contain either standard periods or special periods

K7032 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: K7 - Messages for Row/Column Structure

• Message number: 032

• Message text: Interval may only contain either standard periods or special periods

What causes this issue?

For 7-digit period fields (period/year), you cannot enter an interval
in which the lower limit is a posting period and the upper limit a
special period or vice versa. In addition, when you analyze special
periods, the limits of the interval must fall within the same year.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Enter either posting periods only or special periods only. If you want
to display special periods in the report, use the fields "Fiscal year"
and "Period".
