Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE112 - Contract &1 is soft-deleted and therefore cannot be combined. ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE112 indicates that a contract (identified by the placeholder &1) is in a "soft-deleted" state, which means it has been marked for deletion but is not fully removed from the system. As a result, this contract cannot be combined with other contracts or processed further in certain transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Soft Deletion: The contract has been marked as soft-deleted, which typically occurs when a user or process has flagged it for deletion but the actual deletion process has not been completed.
  Data Integrity: SAP maintains data integrity by preventing operations on contracts that are in a soft-deleted state to avoid inconsistencies in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Contract Status: Verify the status of the contract in question. You can do this by navigating to the contract in the SAP system and checking its lifecycle status.
  Restore or Permanently Delete: 
  
  If the contract needs to be restored, you may need to reverse the soft deletion. This typically involves using specific transaction codes or functions in SAP to change the status back to active.
  If the contract is no longer needed, you may proceed with the permanent deletion process, which usually involves a different transaction or process to ensure it is fully removed from the system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific steps on how to handle soft-deleted contracts, as the process may vary based on your system configuration.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform actions on contracts, as some operations may be restricted based on user roles.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FARR (for Asset Accounting) or others that may be used to manage contracts.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to contract management and soft deletion.
  User Roles: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to view and modify contract statuses.
  Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you are unsure about the steps to take, consider reaching out to your internal SAP support team or SAP support for assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and manage the contract appropriately.
