  The SAP error message OIUX1_TAX_MESSAGES126, which states "Previous month has not been finalized yet," typically occurs in the context of tax processing or financial closing activities within the SAP system. This error indicates that you are attempting to perform an action (such as posting a transaction or running a report) for a period that has not been finalized, meaning that the previous month’s financial data has not been closed or locked.
  Cause:
  
  Unfinalized Previous Month: The most common cause is that the financial period for the previous month is still open and has not been finalized. This can happen if there are pending transactions, adjustments, or if the month-end closing process has not been completed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that prevent the closing of the previous month.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to finalize the previous month.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Finalize the Previous Month:
  
  Navigate to the month-end closing transaction in SAP (e.g., transaction code OB52 for period control).
  Ensure that the previous month is set to "closed" or "finalized." This may involve completing all necessary postings and adjustments for that month.
  If you are responsible for the month-end closing, ensure that all relevant transactions have been posted and that any necessary adjustments have been made.
  
  
  
  Check for Pending Transactions:
  
  Review any pending transactions or documents that may need to be processed before the month can be finalized.
  Ensure that all necessary approvals and postings are completed.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are not responsible for the month-end closing, consult with your finance or accounting team to understand the status of the previous month’s closing process.
  
  
  
  Review User Permissions:
  
  If you suspect that permissions may be an issue, check with your SAP administrator to ensure that you have the necessary access rights to finalize the previous month.
  
  
  
  System Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, it may be necessary to review the system configuration settings related to financial closing. This may require assistance from an SAP consultant or technical support.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OB52 (for period control) and F.01 (for financial statements).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed procedures on month-end closing and financial period management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message.
