• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MW805 - Posting period &1 not same as that of info structure: &2 has &3 ?

  The SAP error message MW805 indicates that there is a mismatch between the posting period of a document and the posting period defined in the associated information structure. This typically occurs in the context of inventory management or logistics, where data is being posted to an information structure that has specific period settings.
  Cause:
  The error message MW805 is triggered when:
  
  The posting period of the document you are trying to process does not match the posting period defined in the information structure.
  The information structure is configured to only accept data for certain periods, and the document's posting period falls outside of this range.
  There may be a configuration issue in the information structure settings or the document itself.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MW805 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Posting Period:
  
  Verify the posting period of the document you are trying to post. Ensure that it is open and valid for posting in the system.
  
  
  
  Review Information Structure Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration of the information structure (transaction code OMI1 for inventory management).
  Check the settings for the information structure in question (e.g., &2 in the error message) and ensure that the posting periods are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Posting Period:
  
  If the document's posting period is incorrect, you may need to adjust it to match the allowed periods for the information structure.
  
  
  
  Check Period Closing:
  
  Ensure that the period has not been closed in the system. If it has been closed, you may need to reopen it or post the document in an open period.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the settings or how to proceed, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant who specializes in logistics or inventory management.
