2638977 - Creating Contracts With Impossible Validity and an End Date before the Start Date

Symptom

You create a contract with a validity of -1 days and the system does not show an error message.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the Sales Order workcenter.
  2. Select the New Contract View.
  3. Select a Validity with a duration of -1 days such as a Start Date 20.04.2018 and End Date 19.04.2018.
  4. You can release/save the contract without error message.

Cause

  • You can select a validity of -1 days in order to cancel contracts, which have not yet started.
  • The contract will be considered with a validity of 0 days and processed accordingly.
  • The contract will not be set to active, but cancelled before activation.
  • If the validity is entered with more than -1 days, then you will receive an error message.

Resolution

This is the expected system behaviour.
