  The SAP error message REXCPTPT081 indicates that there is an attempt to create a third installment for a contract that has already had two installments created for the specified year. This error typically arises in the context of contract management or installment billing within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Installment Limit Reached: The system is designed to allow only a certain number of installments for a contract within a given year. In this case, it appears that the limit has been reached (two installments already created).
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may have been an error in data entry or processing that led to the creation of multiple installments when only two are allowed.

  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Installments: Review the contract in question to confirm how many installments have already been created. You can do this by navigating to the contract management module and checking the installment details.
  Adjust Configuration: If the business process requires more than two installments, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in SAP to allow for additional installments. This typically involves working with your SAP configuration team to modify the billing plan settings.
  Create Additional Installments: If the configuration allows for more installments, ensure that the correct process is followed to create them. If not, consider whether the contract needs to be modified or if a new contract should be created for additional installments.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing contracts and installments, as well as any relevant configuration settings.
