This typically occurs during the financial closing process when you attempt to perform activities that require all periods to be closed, such as posting to a closed period or running certain financial reports.
  Cause:
  
  Open Posting Periods: The primary cause of this error is that there are still open posting periods for the specified company code. This means that transactions can still be posted to those periods, which is not allowed when closing the financial books.

  Review User Roles:

  If necessary, consult with your SAP security team to adjust user roles.
