The SAP error message FGV569 typically indicates an issue related to the fiscal year-end closing process. The message usually states something like "Last period in calendar year & is & &," which suggests that there is a problem with the period being processed in relation to the fiscal year-end.
Cause:
- Incorrect Period Configuration: The error may arise if the system is trying to post a transaction in a period that is not open for posting. This often happens during the year-end closing process when certain periods are closed.
- Fiscal Year Variant Issues: The fiscal year variant may not be correctly configured, leading to discrepancies between the calendar year and the fiscal year.
- Posting Date Issues: The posting date of the transaction may fall into a closed period, which is not allowed.
- Period Locking: The periods may be locked for posting due to the year-end closing activities.
Solution:
- Check Period Status: Verify the status of the periods in the fiscal year. Ensure that the period you are trying to post to is open. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code OB52 (Change Posting Periods) and checking the settings.
- Review Fiscal Year Variant: Ensure that the fiscal year variant is correctly set up and that it aligns with your calendar year. You can check this in the configuration settings under SPRO > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Fiscal Year.
- Adjust Posting Date: If the posting date is in a closed period, adjust the posting date to a valid open period.
- Unlock Periods: If necessary, unlock the periods for posting temporarily to allow for the required transactions, but be cautious with this approach as it may affect the integrity of your financial data.
- Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your configuration and version.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
