• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE157 - Non-statistical pricing cond. of POB &1 cannot be invoiced as statistical ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE157 indicates that there is an issue with the pricing conditions in a contract or billing document. Specifically, it states that a non-statistical pricing condition of a Purchase Order (POB) cannot be invoiced as statistical. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's contract management or billing processes, particularly in the area of financial accounting and controlling.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Statistical vs. Statistical Pricing: In SAP, pricing conditions can be classified as either statistical or non-statistical. Non-statistical pricing conditions are actual costs that affect the financial accounting, while statistical pricing conditions are used for reporting and do not impact the financials directly.
  Inconsistent Configuration: The error may arise if there is a mismatch in the configuration of the pricing conditions in the contract or billing document. For example, if a non-statistical condition is being treated as statistical during the invoicing process.
  Incorrect Condition Types: The condition types used in the pricing procedure may not be set up correctly, leading to this error when trying to process the invoice.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Pricing Conditions: Check the pricing conditions in the contract or billing document. Ensure that the conditions are correctly defined as either statistical or non-statistical based on your business requirements.
  Adjust Configuration: If necessary, adjust the configuration of the pricing procedure in the SAP system. This may involve changing the settings for the condition types to ensure they are correctly classified.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or configuration guides for the specific module you are working with (e.g., SD, MM, or FI) to understand how to properly set up pricing conditions.
  Check Customizations: If your organization has custom pricing procedures, ensure that they are correctly implemented and do not conflict with standard SAP behavior.
  Testing: After making changes, perform testing to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the invoicing process works as expected.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), and VK13 (Display Condition) to manage pricing conditions.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization uses user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for custom pricing logic, review these implementations to ensure they are not causing the issue.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP financial processes.
