  The SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE079 indicates that you are trying to manually add a Purchase Order (POB) to a contract that is currently in the "Pending Review" status. This status typically means that the contract is under some form of review or approval process, and modifications to it, such as adding new POs, are restricted until the review is completed.

  Check Workflow Status: If you have access, check the workflow status of the contract. If it is stuck or requires action from a specific user, you may need to follow up with the responsible party.
