UCS0161
- Task &1: Consolidation frequency &3 contains invalid periods ?The SAP error message UCS0161 indicates that there is an issue with the consolidation frequency in the context of a consolidation task. Specifically, it states that the consolidation frequency contains invalid periods. This error typically arises in the SAP Financial Consolidation module when the system encounters periods that are not valid for the specified consolidation frequency.
Cause:
Invalid Periods: The periods defined in the consolidation frequency may not align with the periods available in the system. This can happen if:
- The periods have been closed or are not open for posting.
- The periods are not defined in the fiscal year variant.
- The periods are outside the range of the fiscal year.
Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the consolidation frequency settings or the fiscal year variant settings.
Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry when defining the consolidation frequency or periods.
Solution:
Check Periods: Verify the periods defined in the consolidation frequency. Ensure that they are valid and open for posting. You can do this by:
- Navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
- Checking the status of the periods in the fiscal year variant.
Adjust Consolidation Frequency: If the periods are indeed invalid, you may need to adjust the consolidation frequency to include valid periods. This can be done in the configuration settings for consolidation.
Review Fiscal Year Variant: Ensure that the fiscal year variant is correctly set up and that the periods you are trying to use are included in it.
Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring consolidation frequencies and periods.
Testing: After making changes, test the consolidation task again to ensure that the error is resolved.
