Cause

This error message indicates that there is no active, monthly fiscal time period defined for the current month.

Resolution

The Datamart jobs require active, monthly Fiscal Time Periods defined for the Entity that is configured on the Datamart Settings page. The configuration of Fiscal Time Periods must include the current month. It is a 'best practices' recommendation to define active, monthly periods up to 6 months into the future so that the Clarity Administrator does not have to remember to create these periods each month.
