• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN123 - Perf. oblig. fulfilled by PoC can only have an event type of Manual ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN123 indicates that there is an issue with the event type being used in a performance obligation (PoC) that has been fulfilled. Specifically, it states that the performance obligation can only have an event type of "Manual." This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) module, which is used for managing revenue recognition in compliance with accounting standards.

  Data Entry Errors: There might be a mistake in the data entry process where an incorrect event type was selected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Event Type: Review the performance obligation in question and ensure that the event type is set to "Manual." You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP and modifying the event type.
  Check Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, verify that the event types allowed for performance obligations are correctly set up. This may involve consulting with your SAP configuration team or reviewing the settings in the RAR module.
  Review Documentation: Check the documentation for the specific performance obligation to understand the requirements for event types. This can help clarify why "Manual" is the only acceptable type in this case.
