  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTI_MODEL004: Enter fiscal year
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a fiscal year is required as input but has not been entered. In SAP, many financial and controlling transactions, reports, or models require the fiscal year to be specified to determine the correct period for processing or data retrieval.

  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Fiscal Year:
  
  When prompted, input the correct fiscal year in the required field. The fiscal year should be in the format defined in your SAP system (usually a 4-digit year, e.g., 2023).
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Variant:
  
  Ensure that the fiscal year you are entering exists in the system and is valid according to the fiscal year variant configured in your SAP system (transaction OB29).
  
  
  Verify User Input Screen:
  
  If the fiscal year field is missing or not visible, check the screen layout or selection parameters to ensure the fiscal year field is available and mandatory.
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  If the fiscal year is not recognized, verify the fiscal year variant and calendar settings in customizing (SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Financial Accounting Global Settings ? Fiscal Year ? Maintain Fiscal Year Variant).
