  Adjust Contingent Period: If the contingent period is incorrect, adjust the start and end dates of the contingent period to ensure they fall within the defined object period.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are unsure about the object period settings, review the configuration settings in the system to ensure they are set up correctly for your business requirements.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more details on how to manage object and contingent periods in your specific module.
