Document Contains Errors -> Approval not possible

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are having issue in our Invoice Workflow.

When ever the approver is trying to approve the document, he is getting the error message "Document Contains Errors -> Approval not possible".

We have verified the document and check for error messages and found the below error messages on the Document.

E BBP_PD 047 Posting period 006 2011 is not open.

The document was submitted some time in the first week of December and as part of AP process the posting period will be closed during the first week of every month. This is a common business case and why is it stopping from posting the doc?

FYI..this Invoice is posted against the WBS element.

Pls give some insight on this and how to address the issue.

Regards,

Satya

Hi,

The posting date in the invoice is referring to the past period which is closed.You will have to change the invoice posting date to current period date and then process.
