    Error Message

    WSTRN110
    Error occurs during the conversion of date &1 into a period.


    Cause

    This error typically occurs when SAP tries to convert a given date into a posting period or fiscal period, but the date does not fall into any valid period defined in the system. The reasons can include:

    • The date (&1) is outside the range of the defined fiscal year or posting periods.
    • The fiscal year variant or posting period variant is not properly maintained or assigned.
    • The date format or calendar settings are inconsistent or incorrect.
    • The posting period is closed or not open for posting.
    • Customizing for fiscal year variant or posting period variant is incomplete or incorrect.

    Where It Occurs

    • During financial postings (FI documents).
    • During asset accounting postings.
    • During period-end closing activities.
    • When converting dates to periods in custom programs or standard SAP transactions that involve date-to-period conversion.

    Solution

    1. Check the Date & Fiscal Year Variant:

      • Verify the date (&1) that caused the error.
      • Check the fiscal year variant assigned to the company code or controlling area.
      • Use transaction OB29 to review the fiscal year variant and ensure the date falls within the defined fiscal year.
    2. Check Posting Period Variant:

      • Use transaction OB52 to check the posting period variant.
      • Ensure the posting period variant assigned to the company code allows posting for the period corresponding to the date.
      • Open the posting period if it is closed.
    3. Verify Period Definitions:

      • Check if the fiscal year variant has the correct number of posting periods and special periods.
      • Ensure the date is not before the start or after the end of the fiscal year.
    4. Check Customizing for Date Conversion:

      • If the error occurs in a custom program, check the logic that converts dates to periods.
      • Use standard SAP function modules like FIMA_PERIOD_GET or FI_PERIOD_GET for date-to-period conversion.
    5. Check for User Exits or BAdIs:

      • Sometimes custom enhancements might interfere with period determination.
      • Review any user exits or BAdIs related to posting period determination.
    6. Test with Different Dates:

      • Try posting with a date that is known to be valid.
      • This helps isolate if the problem is date-specific or system-wide.

    Related Transactions and Tables

    • OB29 – Maintain Fiscal Year Variant
    • OB52 – Maintain Posting Period Variant

    Additional Notes

    • If the fiscal year variant has been changed recently, ensure that all related customizing and master data are updated accordingly.
    • For year-end closing, ensure that the new fiscal year is created and open for posting.

    Summary
