How To Fix AUR050 - The simulation periods do not match contract &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AUR - Unbilled Revenue Reporting and Mass Simulation

• Message number: 050

• Message text: The simulation periods do not match contract &1

What causes this issue?

You have chosen simulation period &V2& to &V3& for contract &V1&. This
simulation period is not permissible for one of the following reasons:
The start of the simulation period is after the end of the simulation
period
The start of the simulation period is before the move-in date for the
contract
The end of the simulation period is after the move-out date for the
contract

System Response

The contract cannot be simulated.

How to fix this error?

The simulation period was calculated by method SIM_METHOD_DETERMINE of
<DS:GLOS.5C733369F735D311AE620060B03C9BBE>Business Add-In</>
ISU_BI_MASS_SIMUL. Correct the coding of your BADI implementation.

Procedure for System Administrators

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

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AUR050 - The simulation periods do not match contract &1 ?

  The SAP error message AUR050, which states "The simulation periods do not match contract &1," typically occurs in the context of contract management or simulation processes within SAP. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the periods defined in the simulation and those specified in the contract referenced by the contract number (&1).
  Cause:
  
  Period Mismatch: The simulation you are trying to run has a different time frame (start and end dates) than what is defined in the contract.
  Contract Status: The contract may be in a status that does not allow for the simulation to be processed.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be incorrect or incomplete data entered in either the contract or the simulation parameters.
  Configuration Issues: There could be configuration settings in the SAP system that are causing the mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Contract Dates: Review the contract associated with the error message. Ensure that the start and end dates of the contract match the periods you are trying to simulate.
  Adjust Simulation Period: Modify the simulation parameters to align with the contract's periods. This may involve changing the start and end dates in the simulation.
  Review Contract Status: Ensure that the contract is in an appropriate status for simulation. If the contract is locked or in a status that prevents changes, you may need to unlock or change its status.
  Data Validation: Verify that all relevant data in both the contract and the simulation is complete and accurate. Look for any discrepancies that could lead to the mismatch.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the simulation process and contract management.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AUR1 for contract management or AUR2 for simulations, as these may help you navigate the system more effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access and modify contracts and simulations in the SAP system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
