• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_UI010 - Non-distinct performance obligation &1 cannot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_UI010 indicates that there is a non-distinct performance obligation in a contract that cannot be deleted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) module, where performance obligations are defined for contracts.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-Distinct Performance Obligation: The error arises when you attempt to delete a performance obligation that is not distinct. In SAP RAR, a performance obligation is considered non-distinct if it cannot be separated from other obligations in the contract. This means that the obligation is part of a bundle of goods or services that are interrelated and cannot be sold separately.
  
  
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or links to other transactions, such as billing documents or revenue recognition postings, that prevent the deletion of the performance obligation.
  
  
  Contract Status: The status of the contract may also play a role. If the contract is in a status that does not allow modifications, you will encounter this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Performance Obligations: Check the performance obligations associated with the contract. Determine if the obligation you are trying to delete is indeed non-distinct and assess whether it can be modified instead of deleted.
  
  
  Modify Instead of Delete: If the performance obligation cannot be deleted due to its non-distinct nature, consider modifying it instead. This may involve changing the details of the obligation or reclassifying it.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Investigate any dependencies that may be preventing the deletion. Ensure that there are no linked transactions that would be affected by the deletion.
  
  
  Contract Status: Verify the status of the contract. If it is in a locked or completed state, you may need to change its status to allow for modifications.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling performance obligations in RAR.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide assistance based on your specific configuration and business processes.
