• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REITOR055 - Only periods 01-12 allowed ?

  The SAP error message REITOR055 ("Only periods 01-12 allowed") typically occurs in the context of financial postings or reporting when a user attempts to enter a posting or transaction in a period that is outside the allowed range of periods for the fiscal year. In SAP, the fiscal year is usually divided into 12 periods (months), and this error indicates that the period being referenced is not valid.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Period: The user is trying to post a transaction in a period that is not defined in the fiscal calendar (e.g., period 13 or higher).
  Fiscal Year Settings: The fiscal year variant may not be set up to allow for additional periods beyond the standard 12.
  Period Locking: The period may be closed or locked for posting, preventing any transactions from being recorded in that period.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Posting Period: Ensure that the period you are trying to post to is between 01 and 12. If you are trying to post to a period outside this range, you will need to select a valid period.
  Review Fiscal Year Variant: Go to the configuration settings for the fiscal year variant in SAP (Transaction code: OB29) and verify that the fiscal year is set up correctly. Ensure that it allows for the periods you need.
  Unlock Periods: If the period is closed for posting, you may need to unlock it. This can be done by going to the transaction code OB52, where you can adjust the posting periods for different account types.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the correct periods or fiscal year settings, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with your organization's policies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  OB29: Configure fiscal year variant.
  OB52: Open or close posting periods.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on fiscal year variants and period control.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to posting periods or fiscal year settings.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the REITOR055 error and successfully post your transactions within the allowed periods.
