  The SAP error message CMS_RE045 indicates that there is a requirement to specify a base period and a base measure for the rental amount in the context of the Contract Management System (CMS) or Real Estate Management (RE) module. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify a rental agreement or contract, and the system requires additional information to process the rental amount correctly.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
