• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN246 - Alloc. BAdI: Total SSP amount of non-residual POBs cannot be zero. ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN246 indicates an issue related to the allocation of amounts in a contract, specifically in the context of the SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module. The error message states that the total SSP (Service Settlement Price) amount of non-residual POBs (Point of Business) cannot be zero. This typically occurs during the processing of contracts or settlements where certain conditions regarding the allocation of amounts are not met.
  Cause:
  
  
  Zero Amounts: The error is triggered when the system detects that the total SSP amount for non-residual POBs is zero. This can happen if:
  
  There are no valid amounts assigned to the POBs.
  The amounts have been incorrectly set to zero due to data entry errors or incorrect calculations.
  The configuration of the contract or POBs does not allow for a valid allocation.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the contract or the POBs may not be set up correctly, leading to the inability to allocate amounts properly.
  
  
  Missing Data: Required data for the POBs may be missing, leading to an inability to calculate the SSP amounts.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check POB Configuration: Review the configuration of the POBs associated with the contract. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that they have valid amounts assigned.
  
  
  Validate Amounts: Go through the contract and check the amounts assigned to each POB. Ensure that they are not set to zero and that they reflect the expected values.
  
  
  Review Contract Settings: Check the overall contract settings to ensure that they are configured to allow for valid allocations. This includes checking the allocation methods and any related settings.
  
  
  Data Entry Review: If the amounts were manually entered, verify that there were no data entry errors that resulted in zero amounts.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling POBs and SSP amounts in the RE-FX module.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the allocation is failing. This may require technical assistance from an SAP consultant or developer.
