• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN765 - Non-distinct POB &1 cannot have event type CI and value relevant TRUE ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN765 indicates that there is an issue with a non-distinct Profitability Object (POB) in a contract that is trying to have an event type of "CI" (which typically stands for "Contract Item") while also being marked as "value relevant" (TRUE). This situation is not allowed in SAP's configuration for contract management.
  
  Cause:
  
  Non-Distinct POB: The error arises because the Profitability Object (POB) is defined as non-distinct, meaning it does not have unique identifiers for different instances. In this case, the system cannot differentiate between multiple instances of the same POB.
  Event Type CI: The event type "CI" is used for contract items that are expected to have value-related postings. If the POB is non-distinct, it cannot have value-related postings, leading to this error.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the contract settings or the way the POB is defined in the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check POB Configuration: Review the configuration
