• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VQ226 - Structure & for procedure & has no valid period type ?

  The SAP error message:
  VQ226 Structure & for procedure & has no valid period type
  typically occurs in the context of costing-based CO-PA (Profitability Analysis) or account-based CO-PA when defining or processing valuation procedures and their associated structures.
  
  Cause
  
  The error indicates that the valuation structure (or costing structure) assigned to a valuation procedure does not have a valid period type assigned.
  In SAP CO-PA, each valuation structure must be linked to a valid period type (e.g., monthly, quarterly, yearly) to define the time granularity for which the valuation data is valid.
  If the period type is missing or incorrectly maintained for the structure, the system cannot process the valuation procedure correctly, leading to this error.
  
  
  Where it occurs
  
  During configuration or execution of valuation procedures in CO-PA.
  When you assign a valuation structure to a valuation procedure.
  When running costing or profitability reports that rely on these settings.
