  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP842 Start date for performance of services is not within the object period typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or similar modules where service performance dates are being processed. This error indicates that the start date for the service you are trying to enter or process does not fall within the defined period for the object (e.g., a contract, lease, or service agreement).
  Cause:
  
  
  Date Mismatch: The start date you are trying to enter for the service is outside the valid date range defined for the object. This could happen if:
  
  The object has a specific validity period that does not include the start date.
  The service is being entered for a date that is either too early or too late compared to the object's defined period.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the dates for service performance.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: The date may have been entered incorrectly, leading to a mismatch.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Validity Period:
  
  Review the validity period of the object (contract, lease, etc.) to ensure that the start date for the service falls within this range.
  If necessary, adjust the start date to fall within the valid period.
  
  
  
  Adjust Object Dates:
  
  If the service needs to be performed outside the current validity period, consider extending or modifying the validity period of the object to include the desired start date.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings related to service performance dates in the SAP system. Ensure that there are no restrictions that would prevent the entry of the desired start date.
