• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_TC_CONTRACT102 - Contract &1 not owned by the confirmed business partner ?

  The SAP error message CRM_TC_CONTRACT102 indicates that the contract you are trying to access or modify is not owned by the business partner that has been confirmed in the system. This typically occurs in the context of contract management within SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
