How To Fix CRM_FS_FRA017 - Payment adjustment date is after contract end - no adjustment possible

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CRM_FS_FRA - Floating Rate Adjustment errors

• Message number: 017

• Message text: Payment adjustment date is after contract end - no adjustment possible

What causes this issue?

The payment adjustment date lies outside the contract duration.
Therefore, the system could not find a valid period for which the p
ayment can be recalculated.
By default, the payment adjustment date is the start date of the period
that follows the interest rate adjustment period. This means that the
system does not calculate a new payment amount for a period in which the
interest rate has changed but it calculates a new payment amount for the
next period.

System Response

The FS document is not adjusted if the payment adjustment date is the
same as or after the contract end date.

How to fix this error?

The following options are available:
If the error message is true and the payment adjustment date does lie
outside the contract duration, the contract will not be adjusted.
You can choose a payment adjustment date that does not lie in the last
payment schedule period; the system will find a payment that can be
recalculated based on the change in interest rates.
You can implement the Business Add-In BADI_CRM_FS_FRA_PAYM_ADJDATE if
you want to define an alternative logic for calculating the payment
adjustment date (for example, if you want to recalculate the payment in
the payment adjustment period as well).

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.
