3677254 - Error "posting period XXX XXXX not open for variant XXXX and ledger 0L" - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

An error occurs when posting the expense report, stating "Posting period XXX XXXX not open for variant XXXX and ledger 0L", even though the Recalculation had been enabled.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Attempt to post an expense report from Concur System to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
  2. Verify that "Recalculate date if financial period is closed" is enabled.
  3. Observe the error message: "Posting period XXX XXXX not open for variant XXXX and ledger 0L".

Cause

The posting period XXX of fiscal year XXXX has not been opened for posting for ledger 0L. 

The Recalculate functionality only works for Vendor and Payroll Reconciliation accounts, therefore we don't check the posting period for below accounts:

  • Expense
  • Tax
  • Credit card
  • Credit card vendor
  • External payment providers

Therefore, even the date recalculation is selected, for this expense report, the system will not recalculate the posting date.

Resolution

Change the posting date on the Concur system or adjust the posting periods.
