How To Fix RECD180 - Although a condition exists, no cash flow is generated before &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RECD -

• Message number: 180

• Message text: Although a condition exists, no cash flow is generated before &1

This could be what you want the system to do, for example, if you want
to make sure that no more conditions can be posted when the assignment
of the last object has ended.
However, if you do not want this to happen, you have to create a new
condition, with the same calculation formula but a different
distribution formula, for the period before &V1&. You have two options.
Either do not enter any distribution formula at all (in this case, the
system generates a payment-related cash flow before the &V1&, but not an
object cash flow), or choose a distribution formula that requires the
distribution object to be entered explicitly (based on the internal
formula "Object"). In the latter case, you can choose any distribution
object, such as the contract itself, or an object that is assigned to
the contract later.

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

January 2004 at the time the valid-to date of the rental object was

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECD180 - Although a condition exists, no cash flow is generated before &1 ?
