  The SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE091 with the description "POB &1: Total fulfilled quantity cannot be positive" typically occurs in the context of contract management or service entry sheets in SAP, particularly when dealing with the fulfillment of purchase orders or service contracts.
  Cause:
  This error generally indicates that there is an inconsistency in the data related to the fulfillment of a contract or purchase order. Specifically, it suggests that the system has detected that the total quantity fulfilled for a particular line item or contract is expected to be zero or negative, but it is currently positive. This can happen due to several reasons, such as:
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may have been an error in entering the quantities in the system.
  Incomplete or Incorrect Document Flow: The related documents (like purchase orders, service entry sheets, etc.) may not be properly linked or may have missing information.
  Status Issues: The status of the contract or purchase order may not allow for further fulfillment, leading to this error.
  Business Logic Violations: The business rules defined in the system may not allow for a positive fulfilled quantity under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check the Fulfillment Quantities: Review the quantities entered in the relevant documents (purchase orders, service entry sheets, etc.) to ensure they are correct and consistent.
  Review Document Flow: Ensure that all related documents are properly linked and that there are no missing entries in the document flow.
  Check Contract Status: Verify the status of the contract or purchase order to ensure it is in a state that allows for fulfillment.
  Adjust Quantities: If necessary, adjust the quantities to ensure that the total fulfilled quantity aligns with the expected values (i.e., it should be zero or negative if that is the business requirement).
  Consult with Business Process Owners: If the issue persists, consult with the relevant business process owners or SAP functional consultants to understand the specific business rules that may be causing this error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like ME23N (Display Purchase Order), ME22N (Change Purchase Order), or others related to contract management to investigate the issue.
