SAP Note 10891 - SIS: Update of S014 terminated with error M2012

Symptom

An update to info structure S014 is terminated with error message M2012 (Error determining posting period with variation C1) if the CAS sales summary is active.

Reason and Prerequisites

The fiscal year variant C1 has not been created in the system/client or has not been copied from the delivery client.

Solution

1. The fiscal year variant C1 has to exist in the client. It can be copied from the delivery client or manually entered in the appropriate client.

2. If the CAS sales summary is not used, the update of the sales summary (info structure S014) can be deactivated.
For this, call the table maintenance transaction for T182E. The "Update statistics" column (technical field name: AKTIV) should be blank for the listed sales document types.

After creating the fiscal year variant or deactivating S014, use Transaction SM13 to update the update records that have been terminated.
