The Process Communication Error "Posting on DD.MM.YYYY blocked; release not possible" is displayed for the Project Invoice Request.

The Process Communication Error was generated for the document because the Project Invoice Request ABC was released with a Invoice Date maintained in a already closed/blocked posting period.

Currently there are two possible options available in order to remove the Process Communication Error from the Project Invoice Request:

Option 1 - Open the Posting Period DD.MM.YYYY in the system

The Posting Period DD.MM.YYYY can be opened in the system in order for the Process Communication Error to be retriggered through the backend. Once the Posting Period is opened in the system, a case must be opened with SAP support in order for the Process Communication Error to be properly delivered in the backend. After the Process Communication Error is removed/delivered in the backend, it should be possible to proceed with the Invoice document creation as the Customer Project Invoice Request will be generated in the system.

Option 2 - Cancel the Project Invoice Request ABC in the system

Cancel the Project Invoice Request ABC and create a new Project Invoice Request document in a open Posting Period. Once the Project Invoice Request ABC is canceled, a case must be opened with SAP support in order for the Process Communication Error to be properly canceled in the backend. The cancelation of the Process Communication Error can occur in this scenario as the Project Invoice Request ABC is canceled in the system.
