How To Fix RETMPE056 - Not possible to simulate giving notice for contract end in Customizing

RETMPE056 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RETMPE - Clauses for Validity Period

• Message number: 056

• Message text: Not possible to simulate giving notice for contract end in Customizing

What causes this issue?

Simulation is <ZH>not </>possible for this notice rule (period
regulation), since the rule contains at least one entry where the notice
date is dependent on the contract end date (for renewals).
This means that notice can only be given effective for the contract end
date (end of the first fixed term or the end of each renewal). To run a
simulation, the system would need information that is available only in
the term rules of the contracts.
