  The SAP error message FGV600, which states "Periods cannot be maintained for calendar-dependent financial year variants," typically occurs when there is an issue with the configuration of the financial year variant in the SAP system. This error is related to the settings for fiscal periods and how they are defined in relation to the calendar year.
  Cause:
  
  Financial Year Variant Configuration: The financial year variant may not be set up correctly. If the variant is defined as calendar-dependent, it should align with the calendar year, and any attempt to maintain periods that do not conform to this can trigger the error.

  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction for maintaining periods. For example, use transaction code OB52 to maintain the posting periods.
