• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REAJME198 - &1: No adjustment since index is increasing and only reductions allowed ?

  The SAP error message REAJME198 indicates that an adjustment cannot be made because the index is increasing, and only reductions are allowed. This typically occurs in the context of rental agreements or lease contracts where adjustments to the rental amounts are based on an index (like a consumer price index).
  
  Cause:
  
  Index Increase: The error arises when the index used for adjusting the rental amount has increased, but the system is set to only allow reductions in the rental amount. This is often a configuration or business rule that prevents increases in rent based on the index.
  Contract Settings: The settings in the rental or lease contract may specify that only reductions are permissible, which can lead to this error when an attempt is made to adjust the rent upwards.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Contract Settings: Check the settings of the rental or lease contract to ensure that they allow for adjustments based on index increases. If
