• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP427 - Operative start (&1) is AFTER start of first contingent (&2) ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP427 Operative start (&1) is AFTER start of first contingent (&2) typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module or similar applications where contingent contracts or agreements are managed. This error indicates that the operative start date you are trying to set for a specific contract or agreement is later than the start date of the first contingent associated with that contract.
  Cause:
  
  Date Misalignment: The operative start date you are trying to enter is after the start date of the first contingent. This could happen if the contingent was created with an earlier start date than the operative start date you are trying to set.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a mistake in entering the dates, either in the operative start date or in the contingent start date.
  Configuration Issues: There might be configuration settings in the system that enforce this rule, preventing the operative start date from being set after the first contingent's start date.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dates: Review the operative start date you are trying to set and compare it with the start date of the first contingent. Ensure that the operative start date is not later than the contingent's start date.
  Adjust Dates: If the operative start date is indeed later, you will need to either:
  
  Change the operative start date to a date that is on or before the start date of the first contingent.
  Adjust the start date of the first contingent if it is appropriate to do so, ensuring that it aligns with your business requirements.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or guidelines related to the management of contingents and operative dates in your SAP system to ensure compliance with business rules.
  System Configuration: If you believe the error is due to a configuration issue, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review the settings related to date validations in the RE-FX module.
