3535508 - Posting of a Journal Entry works despite closed period - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 

Symptom

  • The system allows posting in a closed period without error.
  • The expectation of the system is to prompt an error such as F5903 "Posting period &1 &2 not open for variant &4 and ledger &3"

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Post a journal entry to the closed period.
  2. The journal entry is posted successfully without error.

Cause

Please ensure that both Normal Periods and Adjustment Periods are maintained. 

For example, Normal Period 010.2024 is closed in the Manage Posting Periods app. However, there is a range of periods open from 013.2000 to 16.2030 for Adjustment Periods.

Despite the normal periods being closed, the adjustment period will overwrite this restriction and postings will be allowed in seemingly closed periods. 

Therefore the posting to period 009.2024 will be successfully posted without error.

Resolution

Maintain the Normal Periods and Adjustment Periods as desired.
