Posting period ### / #### is not open
What it actually means
The period your posting date falls into is closed, so SAP refuses the document.
Why it happens
- The finance team has already closed that period for the company code.
- Your posting date is in the wrong month or year (a typo, or a legacy date carried in from a file load).
- The MM period has not been rolled forward, so goods movements are blocked even though FI is open.
- The account type you are posting to is not opened for that period in the period variant.
How to fix it
- 1Check the open periods in OB52 for the FI posting period variant (per account type: +, A, D, K, S).
- 2For material movements, check and roll the MM period with MMPV (it moves the current period forward one month).
- 3If your date is simply wrong, correct the posting date to a date inside an open period.
- 4If the period genuinely must be reopened, ask the finance owner — this is a controlled activity, not a self-service fix.
Stopping it happening again
Agree the close calendar with finance, and validate posting dates in any data load before running it.
