  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN693 indicates that a contract (identified by the contract number &1) is in the "In Process" status because not all Purchase Order Blocks (POBs) associated with the contract have been completed. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or similar modules where contracts are managed.
  Cause:

  Workflow Issues: If there is a workflow associated with the POBs, it may be stuck or not progressing due to various reasons (e.g., missing approvals).

  Solution:
  
  Check POB Status: Review the status of all POBs associated with the contract. Ensure that all necessary actions have been taken to complete them.

  Review Workflow: If a workflow is involved, check its status and ensure that all required approvals are obtained. Resolve any bottlenecks in the workflow.
  Data Validation: Validate the data entered in the POBs to ensure that all mandatory fields are filled out correctly and that there are no discrepancies.
