• Message text: Although a condition exists, no cash flow is generated after &2

Diagnose
A condition that is defined in the contract is still valid after &V2&.
However, no objects are assigned to the contract on that date. In that
case, the system (when this distribution formula "&V3&" is used)
generates a cash flow only up to the latest valid-from date of the
object assignment, even if the calculation formula is independent of the
object (such as "Fixed Amount").
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 after the &V2&. You have two
options. Either do not enter any distribution formula at all (in this
case, the system generates a payment-related cash flow after the &V2&,
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.
