  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data entered for the contract or POB that violate the rules set by the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review POB Settings: Check the configuration of the POB in question. Ensure that it is set up correctly and that it aligns with the requirements for having a Rate of Return.
  Adjust Contract Parameters: If the POB is intended to be time-based, ensure that the contract parameters reflect this. You may need to change the POB type or its attributes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or configuration guides related to POBs and contracts to ensure that all settings are correct.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on how to resolve it.
