• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE153 - Performance obligation &1 cannot have statistical main price cond. type. ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE153 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a performance obligation in the context of revenue recognition. Specifically, the error states that a performance obligation cannot have a statistical main price condition type.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to the following reasons:
  
  
  Incorrect Condition Type: The performance obligation is associated with a condition type that is marked as statistical. In SAP, statistical condition types are used for reporting purposes and do not affect the pricing or revenue recognition directly. However, performance obligations require a main price condition type that is not statistical.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the SAP system for the revenue recognition process may not be set up correctly, leading to the assignment of a statistical condition type to a performance obligation.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the contract or the performance obligation may have been incorrectly maintained, leading to the assignment of an inappropriate condition type.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Types:
  
  Go to the condition type configuration in SAP (Transaction code: V/06).
  Verify that the condition type assigned to the performance obligation is not marked as statistical. If it is, you will need to change it to a valid main price condition type.
  
  
  
  Review Performance Obligation Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the performance obligation in the contract. Ensure that the correct condition types are assigned and that they are appropriate for revenue recognition.
  
  
  
  Adjust Master Data:
  
  Review the master data for the contract and performance obligation. Ensure that all relevant fields are correctly filled out and that the condition types are appropriate.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring performance obligations and condition types.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
