• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE108 - POB &1: Freeze periods are not supported with deferral method L. ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE108 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the deferral method in relation to freeze periods in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) or similar modules. Specifically, the error states that freeze periods are not supported when using the specified deferral method (in this case, "L").
  Cause:
  
  Deferral Method: The deferral method "L" (which typically stands for "linear" or "straight-line" depreciation) does not support freeze periods. Freeze periods are used to prevent changes to certain financial data during specific periods, and the linear method may not be compatible with this feature.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module may not be set up correctly to handle freeze periods with the selected deferral method.
  Transaction Context: The error may occur during specific transactions that attempt to process asset transactions while a freeze period is active.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Deferral Method: Check if the deferral method being used is appropriate for your business needs. If freeze periods are necessary, consider using a different deferral method that supports them.
  Adjust Configuration: If you need to use the linear method, you may need to adjust your configuration settings to either disable freeze periods or change the deferral method for the relevant transactions.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to Asset Accounting and deferral methods to understand the implications of using freeze periods with different methods.
  Transaction Review: If the error occurs during a specific transaction, review the transaction details to ensure that it aligns with the allowed configurations for the selected deferral method.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this issue or provide additional guidance.
