• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN890 - Contract &1 skipped because no. of POBs is higher than block size. ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_MAIN890 indicates that a contract has been skipped because the number of Purchase Order Blocks (POBs) associated with that contract exceeds the allowed block size. This typically occurs in the context of contract management within the SAP system, particularly in the area of financial accounting and contract management.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Block Size: The primary cause of this error is that the number of POBs linked to a specific contract exceeds the predefined block size limit set in the system. Each contract can have a maximum number of POBs that can be processed at one time, and if this limit is exceeded, the contract will be skipped during processing.
  Configuration Settings: The block size limit may be configured in the system settings, and it may not be appropriate for the volume of data being processed.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity or the way POBs are associated with contracts, leading to an unexpected increase in the number of POBs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Block Size Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the block size in the SAP system. You may need to increase the block size limit to accommodate the number of POBs associated with the contract.
  
  This can typically be done in the customizing settings under the relevant module (e.g., Financial Accounting or Contract Management).
  
  
  
  Analyze Contract and POBs: Review the specific contract that is causing the error. Check how many POBs are linked to it and determine if all of them are necessary. If there are unnecessary POBs, consider removing or consolidating them.
  
  
  Batch Processing: If the system allows, consider processing contracts in smaller batches to avoid hitting the block size limit.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to contract management and POBs for any specific guidelines or recommendations regarding block sizes and processing limits.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after making adjustments, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They may provide insights or patches that can help resolve the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:

  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
