• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FORCE320 - Start and end of &1 were adjusted to the dates of the previous contingent ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FORCE320 typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module, particularly when dealing with contingent contracts or agreements. This error indicates that the start and end dates of a specific contingent have been adjusted to match the dates of a previous contingent. 
  Cause:
  
  Date Overlap: The error usually arises when there is an attempt to create or modify a contingent that has overlapping dates with an existing contingent. SAP enforces rules to prevent conflicts in date ranges for contingents.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that dictate how contingents should behave with respect to their date ranges.
  Data Integrity: The system is trying to maintain data integrity by ensuring that no two contingents can exist with overlapping date ranges.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Date Ranges: Review the start and end dates of the contingent you are trying to create or modify. Ensure that they do not overlap with any existing contingents.
  Adjust Dates: If the dates are overlapping, adjust the start and end dates of the new contingent to ensure they fall outside the range of existing contingents.
  Review Existing Contingents: Look at the existing contingents to understand their date ranges and how they might be affecting the new contingent.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing contingents and their date ranges.
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to review the configuration settings in the RE-FX module to ensure they align with your business requirements.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to RE-FX, such as RECN (Contract Management) or REIS (Real Estate Information System), which may help in managing contingents.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to create or modify contingents, as restrictions may also lead to errors.
  Testing: If changes are made, test the creation or modification of contingents in a development or quality assurance environment before applying them in production.
  
  If the problem continues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in the RE-FX module for further assistance.
