• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6A166 - Maximum gross rent = &1 (old gross rent + &2 %) ?

  The SAP error message 6A166, which states "Maximum gross rent = &1 (old gross rent + &2 %)," typically occurs in the context of rental agreements or lease management within the SAP Real Estate Management (RE) module. This error indicates that the gross rent being entered or calculated exceeds the maximum allowable limit based on the old gross rent and a specified percentage increase.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Maximum Rent: The new gross rent you are trying to set exceeds the maximum gross rent allowed, which is calculated as the old gross rent plus a percentage increase.
  Configuration Settings: The percentage increase may be defined in the system settings or in the specific rental agreement, and it may not allow for the increase you are attempting to apply.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the data entry, such as entering an incorrect value for the new gross rent.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Current Gross Rent: Review the current gross rent for the lease or rental agreement. Ensure that you are aware of the old gross rent value.
  Review Percentage Increase: Check the percentage increase that is allowed for the gross rent. This can usually be found in the rental agreement terms or in the configuration settings of the SAP system.
  Adjust New Gross Rent: If the new gross rent exceeds the calculated maximum, you will need to adjust it to be within the allowable limit. The maximum gross rent can be calculated using the formula:
  [
  \text{Maximum Gross Rent} = \text{Old Gross Rent} + (\text{Old Gross Rent} \times \frac{\text{Percentage Increase}}{100})
  ]
  Consult Configuration: If you believe the percentage increase is incorrect or needs to be adjusted, consult with your SAP configuration team to review and possibly update the settings.
