Error: Posting period issue – Message No. F5286.

This blog explains how to fix the error Period 012/2025 is not open for account type D and G/L 140000, Message No. F5286.

Reason: Whenever a user attempts to post an FI transaction in a closed posting period.

For example, while posting a customer invoice using transaction code FB70 in period 12 (December), an error occurs stating that posting period 012/2025 is not open for account type D (Customer).

Go to T code: OB52.

Popup will be appeared, give posting period variant and click on continue button.

Here, you can see that account type D is open for transaction postings for the period 01/2022 to 12/2024. But as per our example we are trying to post for the period 12/2025 which is not opened.

Now, let us open it by changing the value in the To Year field.

Click on save button.

Result: Issue will be resolved.
