  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN108 indicates that a user is not authorized to display a specific contract in the system. This error typically arises in the context of contract management within SAP, particularly when dealing with contracts related to financial agreements or sales.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user attempting to access the contract. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects to view contracts.
  Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that has the required permissions.
  Company Code or Sales Organization Restrictions: The user may have access to certain company codes or sales organizations but not to the specific ones associated with the contract in question.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for contract display.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects that control access to contracts (e.g., F_SKA1_AKT, F_SKA1_BER, etc.).
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test access to the contract again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
