  Enter a valid posting date:
  
  When you encounter this error, simply enter a valid posting date in the required field. The posting date should be within an open posting period in the system.
  
  
  Check posting period status:
  
  If you have entered a date but still get the error, verify that the posting period for that date is open in the system (transaction code OB52).
  
  
  Default posting date:
  
  Sometimes, the system can default the posting date from the document date or current date. Ensure that the defaulting logic is working correctly or manually input the date.
