  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_CONS308 – Posting to previous period not possible for company code &1
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to post a document in a fiscal period that is already closed for posting in the specified company code. In other words, the system does not allow postings to a previous (closed) period because the posting period is locked or not open for the transaction type or company code.
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP controls posting periods via Posting Period Variants assigned to company codes.

  This is a standard control to ensure data integrity and prevent back-dated postings that could affect financial statements already closed.
