2198823 - Plan Values not Calculated - 'Cannot Derive FY/period From Start Date'

In the Projects view of the Cost and Revenue workcenter, no plan values are calculated for project XYZ. The error message displayed mentions that the fiscal year/period could not be derived:

'Cannot derive FY/period from start date xx.xx.xxxx (company ABC / SoB DEF)'.

This problem leads to not having the Total Planned Cost calculated under the Project Overview tab in the project.
