System Response

The system allows you to change the usage type, but you should be aware

old usage type after the usage type has been changed, the new reference
area will be used and the data of the rental agreement will change

Decide whether you really want to change the usage type. If so, avoid
calling up existing rental agreements of this rental unit in the change
mode.

  The SAP error message "6D000 Usage types have different reference areas" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module or when dealing with usage types in the context of real estate management. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the reference areas of the usage types being processed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to perform an operation (like creating or modifying a contract) that involves multiple usage types that are associated with different reference areas. Reference areas are used to define the geographical or functional scope of a usage type, and if they do not match, SAP will not allow the operation to proceed.

  Go to the transaction code RECN (for contract management) or RE01 (for usage type management).
  Look for the usage types and their corresponding reference areas.
  
  
  
  Align Reference Areas: If you find that the usage types have different reference areas, you will need to either:
  
  Change one of the usage types to match the reference area of the other.
  Create a new usage type that has a reference area compatible with the other usage types involved in the transaction.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to change the reference areas or create new usage types, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant.
