What causes this issue?

You have chosen an agreement whose rental start and first debit
position
date are identical. The adjustment history can only be maintained
between the rental start and the first debit position date, since the
rent adjustment history cannot be automatically determined during this
period.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

screen will open. It is however not possible to change the adjustment
history because the system only permits the changing of history records
that are between rental start and the first debit position date.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 62857 - Date of 1st debit pos. & is same as rental start ?

  The SAP error message "62857: Date of 1st debit position is the same as rental start" typically occurs in the context of contract management or rental agreements within the SAP system, particularly in modules like SAP Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or SAP Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA).
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the date for the first debit position (the date when the first payment is scheduled to be collected) is set to the same date as the rental start date. In many business scenarios, this is not allowed because it can lead to issues with payment processing or accounting entries. The system expects the first debit date to be after the rental start date to ensure that there is a clear distinction between the start of the rental period and the first payment collection.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Rental Agreement: Review the rental agreement or contract details to confirm the rental start date and the first debit date.
  
  
  Adjust the First Debit Date: Change the date of the first debit position to a date that is after the rental start date. This can usually be done in the contract management screen where you define the payment terms.
  
  
  Review Payment Terms: Ensure that the payment terms and conditions are correctly set up in the system. This includes checking the frequency of payments (monthly, quarterly, etc.) and ensuring that they align with the rental start date.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure how to make these changes, refer to the SAP documentation or user manuals specific to your version of SAP. 
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide guidance based on your specific configuration and business processes.
