1999451 - Error Message : "Financial accounting is closed on DD.MM.YYYY. Change not permitted; close screen. Accounting-relevant data would also be changed."

When the Project Manager approves or rejects time records against a project, the system shows the below error message when trying to save the time records:

Error: "Financial accounting is closed on DD.MM.YYYY. Change not permitted; close screen. Accounting-relevant data would also be changed. Check whether you can enter time confirmation without accounting attributes."

(DD.MM.YYYY represents the date)

The system will not allow to approve or reject the project time recording on the date DD.MM.YYYY., because this date is blocked for postings in financial accounting.
