• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN673 - POB &1 cannot be marked as completed; has ongoing fulfillments &2. ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN673 indicates that a particular Purchase Order (POB) cannot be marked as completed because there are ongoing fulfillments associated with it. This typically occurs in the context of contract management or procurement processes within SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to complete a contract or purchase order that still has open or ongoing fulfillments. This means that there are still items or services that have not been fully delivered or invoiced against the contract. The system prevents the completion of the contract to ensure that all obligations are fulfilled before closing it.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Open Fulfillments: Review the contract or purchase order to identify any open fulfillments. You can do this by checking the related delivery documents, invoices, or any outstanding items.
  
  
  Complete Fulfillments: If there are ongoing fulfillments, you need to either:
  
  Complete the deliveries or services associated with the contract.
  Process any outstanding invoices or receipts.
  
  
  
  Adjust Contract Terms: If the ongoing fulfillments are no longer needed, you may need to adjust the contract terms or negotiate with the vendor to close out the remaining obligations.
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders: If you are unsure about the status of the fulfillments, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement, finance, or the vendor) to clarify the situation.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant SAP transaction codes to check the status of the contract and fulfillments. For example:
  
  ME33K: Display Contract
  ME2N: Purchase Orders by PO Number
  MIGO: Goods Movement
  
  
  
  Error Handling: If you believe that the error is incorrect (e.g., if all fulfillments are indeed completed), you may need to check for any system inconsistencies or consult with your SAP support team for further investigation.
