Prerequisites
The contract has the status active.
You created notice rules, if applicable, in Customizing:
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide ® Flexible Real Estate Management (Enterprise Extension) ® Contract ® Notice
However, you can also create your own notice rules and procedures in contract processing on the Term tab page.
Procedure

...
1. On the Term tab page, choose the Notice term in the table. In the lower part of the screen, tabs for Notice and Memo are displayed.

Standard notice procedures are set up in Customizing (see Prerequisites).
Standard Notice Procedure

If you
choose a standard notice procedure, you can simulate the end of the contract
by choosing 
with the quick info text Simulate
Notice. If you entered an explanatory text for the notice procedure in
Customizing, you can display it here by choosing 
with
the quick info text Display Description. If this icon is white, then no
description was entered.
Individual Notice Procedures
4. If you wish to create your own notice rules, choose Individual Notice Procedure.
a. Enter a name for the notice procedure in the Name of Term field. This name appears later in the RE Navigator in the object data for the term.

In the
detail area, a table appears where you can access a fast entry mode for
creating new period regulations
and deadline
regulations by choosing 
with
the quick info text Create Notice Rule.
c. Enter data as required.
d. When processing your own period regulation or deadline regulation, you can simulate notice. You can also leave fast entry and go to expert mode.
It is not possible to enter rules for all cases in the fast entry mode. There are cases where you need to use expert mode. Once you choose expert mode, you cannot return to the fast entry mode.
As a different option, you can import rules
already defined in Customizing by choosing

the detail view of the contract by choosing
