• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS_MOV024 - Cannot complete liquidation; active change request exists ?

  The SAP error message CMS_MOV024 indicates that a liquidation process cannot be completed because there is an active change request associated with the transaction. This typically occurs in the context of the Contract Management System (CMS) or similar modules where changes to contracts or agreements are being processed.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of an active change request that has not been finalized or completed. This means that there are pending changes that need to be addressed before the liquidation process can proceed. The system prevents the liquidation to ensure data integrity and to avoid conflicts between the changes being made and the liquidation process.
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active Change Requests:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or module where the change request was initiated.
  Look for any active change requests that are associated with the contract or transaction you are trying to liquidate.
  
  
  
  Complete or Reject Change Requests:
  
  If the change request is no longer needed, you can reject or delete it.
  If the change request is valid, ensure that it is completed and approved. This may involve finalizing the changes and saving them in the system.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Liquidation:
  
  Once the change request has been addressed (either completed or rejected), attempt the liquidation process again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about how to handle change requests, refer to your organization's SAP documentation or user manuals for guidance on managing change requests in the CMS.
