• Message number: 011

• Message text: Different business places used in contract &1 for validity period &2 - &3

What causes this issue?

There are overlapping validity periods for the contract objects and
their business place assignments.
During posting, the system checks whether the objects that are assigned
to a contract belong to different business places. If the objects
belong to more than one business place, then the system also checks the
validity periods for the contract objects. The validity periods for the
contract objects must not overlap when different business places are
used.
In this case, the system check has identified an overlap and is unable
to determine the applicable business place assignment.

System Response

The system creates an error message and terminates the process.

How to fix this error?

You cannot save the posting until the business place assignments for the
contract objects do not overlap for the validity period.
You must maintain the business places and validity periods for the
contract objects.

Procedure for System Administrators

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