Hi Amit,

Period 2 is for all the general users for day to day postings. Period 1 is for specific users who have been assigned to a particular authorization group and have the specific posting period authorization to post in the Period 1. These are generally set with Account type +. Please modify OB52  accordingly as it seems the posting periods are open till 2005 only (again assuming that fiscal year is calendar year in your solution).

Hi,

Apart from what had been suggested already, you have to check MMRV whether the posting period was opened or not

if not open it in MMPV

you have to just cross check both MMPV and OB52

MMPV is for material postings

OB52 is for Financial postings

Hi Amit,

You are getting this error because of Posting Period Variant.

As Narendra has already mentioned that you need to check in OBY6 that what is your posting period variant and then check in OB52.

Please take help of FI consultant of your company.He will help you out in this context.
