Posting date invalid due to closed accounting period; contact Accounting.
Reproducing the Issue

- Go to Bank Statements.
- From the Show list select All Bank Statements.
- Select the statement ID in question and you observe that bank statement post processing status as Required.

Cause
Post processing status shows required due to the reason that posting date selected in the payment allocation is invalid and the period to which it belongs to is blocked for posting the transactions so the system has not automatically allocated the payment.
Resolution

- Select the Payment Allocation ID from Payment Management / Liquidity Management work center
