• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECRM_ISU122 - Product change must be earlier than contract future end date &1 ?

  The SAP error message ECRM_ISU122 indicates that a product change cannot be processed because the change date is later than the contract's future end date. This typically occurs in the context of contract management within the SAP IS-U (Industry Solution for Utilities) module, where contracts are associated with products and services.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to change a product (e.g., a service or utility plan) for a customer contract, but the effective date of the product change is set to a date that is after the contract's end date. This is a logical restriction to ensure that changes to contracts are valid and do not extend beyond the contract's defined period.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Contract Dates: Review the contract's start and end dates. Ensure that the product change you are trying to make is scheduled for a date that is before the contract's end date.
  
  
  Adjust Product Change Date: If the product change date is set incorrectly, adjust it to a date that is earlier than the contract's future end date.
  
  
  Modify Contract End Date: If appropriate, consider extending the contract's end date if the business rules allow for it. This may involve a contract amendment process.
  
  
  Review Business Rules: Ensure that the product change aligns with your organization's business rules and policies regarding contract management.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for managing contracts and product changes to ensure compliance with procedures.
