• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_APPLICATION144 - POB &1: POB with existing higher-level is not supported ?

  The SAP error message FARR_APPLICATION144 with the description "POB &1: POB with existing higher-level is not supported" typically occurs in the context of the SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module, particularly when dealing with Property Object Bundles (POBs).
  Cause:
  This error generally arises when there is an attempt to create or modify a Property Object Bundle (POB) that has a higher-level POB already associated with it. In other words, the system does not allow the creation of a new POB if there is already a higher-level POB linked to it. This can happen in scenarios where:
  
  You are trying to create a new POB that is intended to be a sub-bundle of an existing POB.
  The system detects that the structure of POBs is being violated, as it does not support multiple levels of POBs in certain configurations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing POBs: Review the existing POBs in the system to identify if there is already a higher-level POB associated with the one you are trying to create or modify. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP and checking the hierarchy of POBs.
  
  
  Modify the Structure: If you find that there is indeed a higher-level POB, you may need to either:
  
  Change the structure of your POBs to ensure that the new POB does not conflict with existing ones.
  Remove or adjust the existing higher-level POB if it is no longer needed or if it can be restructured.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to RE-FX and POBs for specific guidelines on how to manage POB hierarchies.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue through the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide more detailed insights based on your specific configuration and usage of the system.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP RE-FX, such as RECN (for managing contracts) or REIS (for managing real estate objects).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to POB management that might address known issues or provide patches.
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
