Cannot determine the period for rule 17 to 12/28/2020 #COE #MODPIZZA

Hello,

We're trying to post a partial capitalization to an asset as of the start of our fiscal year (12/28/2020) from an investment project element and getting the following error:

Period Control 17 is maintained for these years however (including an entry of 12/31 as instructed by SAP for fiscal years that don't end in alignment with the calendar year), so we again do not know why the system is struggling to know what period/fiscal year to apply for this asset accounting transaction and are trying to close period 1 of fiscal year 2021. How do we fix this issue, and secondarily how can we solve these types of errors for our system moving forward so that they aren't yearly recurring issues around this time for our fiscal year?

Best,

Ryan

Ultimately the way we addressed this was to add the Dec 31 entry to all of the fiscal years that don't end on it in both SA (half period variant) and ZM (full period variant). It is completely nonsensical requirement for a fiscal year that doesn't follow a calendar month convention, but that is the solution that fixed our issue.
