• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KG452 - Intervals are not permitted with special periods ?

  The SAP error message KG452 ("Intervals are not permitted with special periods") typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when you are trying to execute a report or transaction that involves special periods, but the system does not allow the use of intervals in that context.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises because special periods in SAP are designed for specific reporting needs, such as year-end closing or special financial reporting.
