    The SAP error message 6D812 indicates that there is an issue with the renewal date of a contract in the SAP system.

This can occur in contract management scenarios where the renewal date is set incorrectly or does not align with the expected contract duration.

    1. Check Renewal Date: Review the renewal date you have entered and ensure it is set to a date that extends beyond the current end date of the contract.

    3. Consult Contract Rules: Review any specific rules or configurations related to contract renewals in your SAP system to ensure compliance.
