Invalid period selected for advance return for tax on sales/purchases

What causes this issue?

When retrieving the data for filling out the advance return for tax on
sales/purchases, a period was specified which does not correspond to
the periods prescribed by the tax office for the advance return.

How to fix this error?

Start the report that opens the tax balances from the documents again
and thereby specify an allowed period. A calendar month or a quarter
(January to March, April to June,...) are allowed.
