• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKVT_INVALID090 - You cannot change the start date of contract &1. ?

  The SAP error message FKKVT_INVALID090 indicates that you are trying to change the start date of a contract, but the system does not allow this action. This restriction is typically in place to maintain data integrity and ensure that contractual obligations are not altered inappropriately.
  Cause:
  
  Contract Status: The contract may be in a status that does not allow changes to the start date. For example, if the contract is already active or has been billed, the system may prevent modifications.
  Business Rules: There may be specific business rules or configurations in place that restrict changes to certain fields after a contract has been created or activated.
  Dependencies: There could be dependencies on other documents or processes that rely on the original start date, making it critical to maintain that information.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Contract Status: Verify the status of the contract. If it is active or has been billed, you may need to consider other options, such as creating a new contract or adjusting the existing one through other means.
  Review Business Rules: Consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to understand the specific business rules that apply to contract modifications. They may be able to provide guidance on how to proceed.
  Use Alternative Methods: If changing the start date is not possible, consider whether you can achieve your goal through other means, such as adjusting the billing dates or creating a new contract with the desired start date.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for any additional insights or specific configurations that may be affecting your ability to change the start date.
