  The SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE096 indicates that there is an issue with the unfreeze date of a Purchase Order (POB) in relation to its end date. Specifically, the error states that the unfreeze date must be before the end date of the POB. 
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the context of contract management or asset accounting within SAP. The unfreeze date is a date that allows certain actions to be taken on a contract or asset that was previously frozen (i.e., no changes can be made).

  Check the POB End Date: Review the end date of the Purchase Order or contract in question. This can usually be found in the contract management or asset accounting module.
  
  
  Adjust the Unfreeze Date: Change the unfreeze date to a date that is earlier than the POB end date. This can typically be done in the contract or asset management screen where the unfreeze date is specified.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to perform the action that triggered the error again.
