SAP S/4HANA posting date, document date, and posting period rejection diagnosis
A posting rejection is usually a period-control issue, not a document-date mistake. The journal entry date is the document issue date, while the posting date determines the posting period that the system checks. The posting period variant, not the fiscal year variant, opens and closes periods for the header and for each account type.
