How To Fix 60162 - Area "&" is reference area

60162 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 60 - Real Estate

• Message number: 162

• Message text: Area "&" is reference area

What causes this issue?

You have not entered a value for the area '&V1&'. In Customizing, this
area is marked as a reference area. This means, for instance, that this
area is used in the option rate calculation and the display of
condition rates per area.

System Response

Without an area size the system cannot take the determination of option
rates into consideration or calculate amounts per area. It is also not
possible to carry out a rent adjustment that is based on amounts per
area unit for rental units without reference areas.

How to fix this error?

If, however, you do not want to enter any reference areas, confirm the
warning with ENTER. Otherwise enter an area.
