3783169 - Allowed Posting Periods Error When Sending Supplier Invoice From Ariba To ERP - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

• An error occurs when sending a supplier invoice from Ariba to ERP.
• Error message text shows “Allowed posting periods: …” indicating the posting month is not open.
• Error codes observed: M8022 and M8535.

• Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
• Logistics Invoice Verification (Public Cloud)

1. Send a supplier invoice from Ariba to ERP (S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition).
2. Observe that the interface stops with error “Allowed posting periods: …” and the invoice does not post/park.

• The invoice posting date falls in a month that is closed in the posting-period calendar assigned to the company code.
• The posting-period check (for example, message M8535/M8022) validates per account type (such as “all,” suppliers, general ledger, materials). The target month may be open for one account type but still closed for others required by the invoice.
• Automated interface processing treats a closed posting period as an error and stops, whereas manual entry may only show a warning.

1. Identify the posting date sent from Ariba and the company code used by the interface.
2. In the Manage Posting Periods app, verify which posting-period variant is assigned to that company code.
3. Open the target posting month for all required account types on that variant:
   • Open “all.”
   • Open “suppliers” and “general ledger.”
   • If the invoice affects stock value, also open “materials.”
4. Before reprocessing, check in the supplier invoice apps that the invoice was not already created/parked to avoid duplicates.
5. Reprocess the failed message in Message Monitoring (restart). Confirm the document posts or parks as expected.
6. As a preventive step, ensure upcoming months are opened for the relevant account types before receiving Ariba invoices.
