• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN112 - Compound POB &1 has only one non-distinct, lower-level POB ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN112 indicates that there is an issue with a Compound Purchase Order Bundle (POB) in the context of contract management. Specifically, the error states that the compound POB has only one non-distinct, lower-level POB, which is not allowed in the system.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  Single Non-Distinct POB: The compound POB is expected to have multiple distinct lower-level POBs, but it only has one. This can happen if the lower-level POBs are not set up correctly or if there is a configuration issue.
  Configuration Issues: The system may be configured in a way that does not allow for a compound POB to exist with only one lower-level POB.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been an error during the data entry process, leading to the creation of a compound POB with insufficient lower-level POBs.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the POB Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the compound POB and its associated lower-level POBs. Ensure that there are multiple distinct lower-level POBs associated with the compound POB.
  
  
  
  Add Additional Lower-Level POBs:
  
  If the compound POB currently has only one lower-level POB, consider adding more lower-level POBs to meet the requirement of having multiple distinct entries.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entry:
  
  Go through the data entry process to ensure that all necessary information was entered correctly. Look for any missing or incorrectly entered lower-level POBs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing compound POBs and their configurations.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configuration and data entry, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They may provide insights specific to your system configuration.
