Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_FI312 - Maximum entry is fiscal year &1 ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRMA_FI312 Maximum entry is fiscal year &1
  typically occurs in the context of financial postings or document entries where the fiscal year entered exceeds the allowed or defined fiscal year range in the system.
  
  Cause
  
  The fiscal year you are trying to enter or post to is beyond the maximum fiscal year defined in the system.
  This can happen if the fiscal year variant or the company code configuration does not include the fiscal year you are attempting to use.
  It may also occur if the system is set up with a limited range of fiscal years and the user tries to post a document dated in a fiscal year that is not yet open or defined.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Variant Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code OB29 (Maintain Fiscal Year Variant).
  Verify the fiscal year variant assigned to the company code.
  Check the defined fiscal years and ensure the fiscal year you want to post to is included.
  
  
  
  Check Company Code Settings:
  
  Use transaction OB37 to check the assignment of fiscal year variant to the company code.
  Ensure the company code is assigned to the correct fiscal year variant.
  
  
  
  Open the Fiscal Year:
  
  If the fiscal year is not yet open for posting, you need to open it.
  Use transaction OB52 (Posting Periods) to open posting periods for the fiscal year in question.
  Make sure the posting periods for the fiscal year are open for the relevant document type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Date or Posting Date:
  
  If the fiscal year is incorrect due to a wrong document date or posting date, correct the date to fall within an open fiscal year.
  
  
  
  System Upgrade or Customizing:
  
  If the fiscal year variant does not support the fiscal year you want to post to (e.g., system only supports up to 2023 but you want to post in 2024), you may need to extend the fiscal year variant or update system customizing.
