What causes this issue?

When defining an evergreen contract, the Period Basis (years, days,
months) and the Period Length or duration of the contract, must both be
entered. These two values are used to calculate the "Right to Cancel"
date.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Right to Cancel Date = Contract Valid To / Expiration Date + Period
Basis / Period Length
Example:
,,Valid To / Expiration Date = 12/31/1999
,,Evergreen Period Basis = DAY
,,Evergreen Period Basis = 255
,,12/31/1999 + 255 days = Right to Cancel Date of 03/12/2000
