• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6D847 - One condition item exists that start after end of contract ?

  The SAP error message 6D847 indicates that there is a condition item in a contract that has a validity period starting after the end date of the contract. This typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) modules, where the system checks the validity of condition records against the contract's validity period.
  Cause:
  
  Condition Record Validity: The condition record (e.g., pricing, discounts) has a start date that is later than the end date of the contract.
  Contract Configuration: The contract may have been set up incorrectly, with overlapping or misaligned dates for conditions.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a mistake during data entry, leading to incorrect dates being assigned to the condition records.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Condition Records: Check the condition records associated with the contract. Ensure that the start and end dates of the condition records fall within the validity period of the contract.
  Adjust Dates: If you find that the condition record's start date is indeed after the contract's end date, you will need to either:
  
  Change the start date of the condition record to be within the contract's validity period.
  Extend the contract's end date if applicable and if it makes sense for your business process.
  
  
  Delete or Inactivate Condition Records: If the condition is no longer needed, consider deleting or inactivating the condition record.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for managing contracts and condition records to ensure compliance with business rules.
