Error of Posting Period while making AP invoice

Dear Expert

When we unlock the posting period & do immediate AP Invoice in SAP it's showing the posting period is locked.

After 50 sec the same entry gets added without an error.

What could be the reason?

If you have a document opened (Not saved) in SAP and you have made a change in settings it is likely the open document will not get affects of that change so better to close and re-open the document.

Hi.

Depending on the document, if it is a document that has a journal entry and the general ledger has already closed the month, the user will have to change the date of the document before changing the outline to the current month, but if it has not yet closed the month or if it is a document that does not generate an LCM (for example, purchase order, Sales Order, Purchase Request), just open the month and ask the user to add it.

Of course, you can make some improvements to the system. I made an alert here where it warns the user that there is a document to authorize, and there is an authorized document that must be released.

Hi,

Primarily, if you have already in process of creating a document and/or running a report and an error occurs, be it account not defined or posting period locked, there is a possibility that even after the definition is fixed by the user but still the already opened document or report will still display the same error.

The usual course of action in this case is to close the report selection criteria, or cancel the Invoice and re-create the same after the changes to the definition are made.

Check in demo.
