• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN729 - Perf. oblig. &1 and &2 cannot have different simplified invoice flags. ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN729 indicates that there is a conflict in the simplified invoice flags for performance obligations in a contract. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) module, where contracts may have multiple performance obligations, and each obligation can have a flag indicating whether it is eligible for simplified invoicing.
  Cause:
  The error arises when two or more performance obligations within the same contract have different settings for the simplified invoice flag. This inconsistency is not allowed because all performance obligations under a single contract must share the same invoicing treatment.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all performance obligations associated with the contract have the same simplified invoice flag setting. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Review Performance Obligations: Check the performance obligations linked to the contract in question. Identify which obligations have differing simplified invoice flags.
  
  
  Update Flags: Modify the simplified invoice flag for the performance obligations so that they are consistent across all obligations. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant performance obligation in the SAP system.
  Adjusting the simplified invoice flag to match the desired setting (either all set to "Yes" or all set to "No").
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the performance obligations.
  
  
  Reprocess the Contract: Once the flags are consistent, attempt to reprocess the contract or the related transaction that triggered the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as FARR or FARR_CONTRACT to access the relevant contract and performance obligation details.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to Revenue Accounting and Reporting for more detailed guidance on managing performance obligations and invoicing settings.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the RAR module for further assistance.
