  SAP Error Message:
  WFCS100 Valid fiscal year variant &1 missing for posting period. &2 &3 &4
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when the system tries to determine the valid fiscal year variant for a given posting period but cannot find a valid fiscal year variant assigned or configured for that posting period.

  The fiscal year variant defines the fiscal year structure (number of posting periods, special periods, start and end dates) for a company code. If the workflow or posting process tries to access a posting period that is not valid or not assigned to any fiscal year variant, this error is triggered.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  
  Missing or incorrect assignment of fiscal year variant to company code
  
  The company code does not have a fiscal year variant assigned in the configuration.
  
  
  Posting period not defined in the fiscal year variant
  
  The posting period number used is outside the range defined in the fiscal year variant.
  
  
  Incorrect or missing configuration in the workflow or posting period variant
  
  The workflow step or posting period variant is not properly maintained or linked.
