  The SAP error message KW771 "No update by posting period in the LIS" typically occurs in the context of the Logistics Information System (LIS) when there is an issue with the data update for a specific posting period. This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions is essential for resolving it.
  Cause:
  
  
  Posting Period Not Open: The most common reason for this error is that the posting period for the relevant data is closed. If the period is closed, no updates can be made to the LIS for that period.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Posting Period: Verify that the posting period is open. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code OB52 (for financial periods) or checking the relevant configuration in the LIS. If the period is closed, you may need to open it temporarily to allow updates.
