What causes this issue?

Contract &V1& does not contain a move-in date. This contract should not
therefore be used as a contract reference when entering an accounting
document.
Document &V2& cannot be reversed because contract &V1&, to which the
document is assigned, does not have a move-in date.

System Response

The basic setting for IS-U (utilities industry) does not allow
accounting documents to be entered for a contract (contract reference),
which does not have a move-in date.

How to fix this error?

Contact your system administrator to change the settings for this error
message.
If the setting has been changed for this error message, you must ensure
that all items that have been entered for this contract have been
reversed. All items with this contract reference must be cleared.
Documents that were transferred using transaction FP40 (Transfer Items)
from a contract <ZH>A</> to a different contract <ZH>B</> must be
reversed if the move-out is to be reversed for contract <ZH>B</>. A new
transfer from contract <ZH>B</> to contract <ZH>A</> means that
following the reversal of the move-in for contract <ZH>B</>, you can no
longer reverse the transfer.
