"The following errors have been addressed to your service provider:

Once your service provider has solved the errors, the system closes the errors and restarts the processes automatically."

The Process Communication Error happens because no process control exists for the period. As no Process Control exists the system creates a Process Communication Error because the system cannot send the transaction to accounting.

To check the error details, follow the below steps:

1. Go to the Application and User Management work center.
2. Go to the Process Communication Errors view.
3. Search for the Goods and Activity Confirmation using the advanced filter.
4. The main error is "Goods and Service confirmation not possible; posting on DD.MM.YYYY blocked in company AA (AA refers to the Company ID)."

To correct this issue you need to maintain a Process Control for the period.

1. Navigate to the General Ledger work center.
2. Select the Companies view.
3. Choose the relevant Company ID and click on the Set Process Control button.
4. In the General Data tab, choose Add Row.
5. Fill in the required fields: Entry Possible Unit, From Posting Date, To Posting Date, and Business Process Group (set as Goods and Services Confirmation).
6. Choose Save and Close.

Once you have completed the above you need to advise SAP that you have completed this. And SAP can reconcile the message from the backend to post the document.

If the original period is now closed. The posting will create an Unposted Source Document, allowing you to then post the document to a new period.
