  The SAP error message FVD_SEPA024 indicates that there is an issue with the entry of a Contract ID when processing a multi-contract mandate in the SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) payment processing. This error typically arises in the context of managing direct debits or credit transfers where multiple contracts are involved.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  A multi-contract mandate is being processed, which means that the mandate is intended to cover multiple contracts.
  The system does not require a specific Contract ID for multi-contract mandates, and entering one leads to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error FVD_SEPA024, you should:
  
  Remove the Contract ID: If you are processing a multi-contract mandate, ensure that you do not enter a Contract ID in the relevant field. The system is designed to handle multiple contracts without needing a specific identifier.
  Check Mandate Configuration: Verify that the mandate is correctly set up as a multi-contract mandate in the system. Ensure that all necessary configurations are in place for handling such mandates.
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation or help resources related to SEPA mandates to ensure compliance with the required setup and processing steps.
  Test the Process: After making the necessary adjustments, test the process again to confirm that the error no longer occurs.
  
  Related Information:
