Transaction ZFV60: different error message in test and production system

Hello everyone,

I have a curious problem in connection with transaction ZVF60 (park vendor invoice). I want to post a document the same document that has the posting date of March 2025. The period is closed for both systems. The production system was recently mirrored to the test system, so the systems are identical and the period settings are the same. In the test system I get the error message F5286: "Period 003/2025 is not open for account type K and general ledger 251150", in the production system I get error message F5201: Posting period 003 2025 is not open. Does anyone have an idea why the error messages are different with the same customizing?

Thank you very much.

Best regards

Nadine

    Hi Nadine, it is interesting that you are getting different error messages in your production and test systems, even though the systems have been mirrored and the customizing should be identical. Here are some points you could check to solve the problem: 1. Synchronization of the systems: Even though the systems have been mirrored, check that any subsequent changes in customizing or system settings, including period opening, have been made identically in both systems after mirroring. Sometimes minor differences, especially in the financial accounting settings, can lead to such discrepancies. 2. Analyze error messages: - F5286: This message indicates that period 003/2025 is not open for the corresponding general ledger (251150) and for account type K (accounts payable) - F5201: This message also signals that the posting period is not open, but refers more generally to the posting period and not specifically to the account. 3. Check period opening: - Go to transaction OB52 or use the corresponding transaction for opening and closing posting periods in your SAP system. Check there whether the posting period 003/2025 for the vendors (account type K) and the corresponding general ledger is opened correctly - Make sure that these settings are the same in both systems. 4. Transfer and synchronization problems: - It is possible that errors may occur when transferring system settings from one system to another. Check that all relevant settings have been transferred correctly during mirroring. This can sometimes be overlooked, especially with settings that are not changed regularly. 5. Cache and temporary data: - Sometimes temporary data or caches can store old configurations and lead to such problems. Try clearing the cache or restarting the system to see if the problem persists. 6. Differences in permission roles: - Check if the permissions of the users are identical in both systems. Sometimes different permissions can lead to different behaviors. If you have done all these steps and the problem persists, it might be useful to analyze more detailed logs or trace files to identify deeper differences between the systems. I hope this helps you!
