How To Fix CACSMD368 - Contract bundle &1 is only valid until &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CACSMD - Message Texts for Master Data

• Message number: 368

• Message text: Contract bundle &1 is only valid until &2

What causes this issue?

The selected contract bundle is not valid for as long as the contract
bundle that is to be maintained.
If you still want to assign the contract bundle that you selected, then
you need to change it, so that it ends before or on the same date as
the contract bundle that is to be assigned. If the contract bundle is,
however, to end after the contract bundle that is to be assigned, you
can call up the contract bundle maintenance again after you finish this
maintenance, with the corresponding indicator: <ZH><ZK>Effectively
valid from</></>. You can then change the end of the contract bundle
back to the old date, and delete the contract bundle from the
Table-Ctrl.
