• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN144 - Cannot find ref. acct.; no cond. is provided for perf. oblig. &1 ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN144 indicates that the system cannot find a reference account for a performance obligation because no condition is provided for that obligation. This typically occurs in the context of contract management, particularly when dealing with performance obligations in SAP's Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or similar modules.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Condition Records: The error often arises when there are no condition records defined for the performance obligation in question. This means that the system does not have the necessary pricing or account assignment information to process the transaction.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the contract or the related accounts. This could include missing or incorrect settings in the pricing procedure or account determination.
  
  
  Reference Account Not Defined: The reference account that should be linked to the performance obligation might not be defined in the system.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the master data or transactional data that prevent the system from finding the necessary reference account.

  Check Condition Records: Verify that the necessary condition records for the performance obligation are created and active. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction codes (e.g., VK11 for creating condition records) and ensuring that the conditions are properly defined.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the contract and the pricing procedure. Ensure that the account determination settings are correctly configured to link the performance obligation to the appropriate accounts.
  
  
  Define Reference Account: If the reference account is missing, you may need to define it in the system. This can typically be done in the configuration settings for the relevant module.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a data consistency check to identify any discrepancies in the master data or transactional data that may be causing the issue.
