1. Creating intercompany supplier invoice according to scope item 1P9 / 5D2

The sample error message "Posting period 002 2024 not open for variant 0040 and ledger 0L" is due to the period 002 2024 not being open for the FI area for company code 0040.

1. Open the posting period 002 2024 for the FI area for company code 0040 using the manage posting periods app. 
2. If the Supplier invoice needs to be created in the current open period, change the settings for the posting date via SSCUI (ID 106441) "Configure Posting Date for Advanced Intercompany Invoices".
3. Set the configuration to "Current Date of Invoice Processing". This affects all newly processed and reprocessed value chains. The existing chain with the error will take the new setting into account as soon as it is reprocessed (for example via the "Reprocess" button in the app “Monitor Value Chains”).
4. If the field is left with “Invoicing Party” empty but specify a value for the determination of the posting date, this posting date is used for all invoicing parties that are not explicitly specified. If all supplier invoices need to be posted following the same determination logic, it could be done with restrict the setting to certain invoicing parties by entering them in the respective column in the customizing activity.
