Cause
The long text of the error explains;
Diagnosis
You are trying to open or close posting periods and the result is that the remaining open periods do not form an interval.
Procedure
Either a single period or an interval of periods can be open. For example, either period 2 or periods 2 - 6 can be open, but periods 2, 4, and 6 cannot be the only open
Resolution
There exists also special periods 13,14,15,16.
So when trying to open period 01 in 2023, you get the error, that open periods would not form interval, because 13,14,15,16 were closed in 2022.
