  The SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE065 indicates that a retroactive change cannot be performed on a Purchase Order (PO) or Contract because the contract was terminated early. This error typically arises in the context of contract management and financial accounting within SAP, particularly when dealing with retroactive adjustments or changes to contracts that have already been finalized or terminated.

  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to prevent inconsistencies in financial reporting and contract management.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Contract Status: Check the status of the contract or PO in question. If it has been terminated, you will need to assess whether it is possible to reactivate it or if a new contract needs to be created.
  Consult with Stakeholders: Discuss with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement, finance) to determine if the retroactive change is necessary and if there are alternative approaches to achieve the desired outcome.
  Create a New Contract: If the retroactive change cannot be performed due to the termination, consider creating a new contract or PO that reflects the necessary changes.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check for any SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message. Sometimes, SAP releases patches or updates that can address specific issues.

  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to contracts and POs in the SAP system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and determine the best course of action regarding the contract or purchase order in question.
