Specifically, the error states that the new contract start date cannot be after a specified date (represented by &1 in the message). This typically occurs when you are trying to create or copy a leasing contract, and the start date you have entered is later than the allowed date.

  Solution:
  
  Check the Start Date: Review the start date you are trying to enter for the new contract. Ensure that it is not set to a date that is after the specified date (&1).
  Adjust Dates: If the start date is indeed incorrect, adjust it to a valid date that is before or on the specified date.
  Review Contract Details: If you are copying an existing contract, check the details of the original contract to ensure that the new contract's start date aligns with the end date of the original contract.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, review the leasing module settings to understand any restrictions that may be in place regarding contract dates.
  Business Process Review: If the error persists, consult with your business process owner or SAP consultant to ensure that the contract creation process aligns with your organization's leasing policies.
