• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_UI237 - Contract has unsaved changes; it cannot be removed from work area ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_UI237 indicates that there are unsaved changes in a contract, and as a result, the contract cannot be removed from the work area. This typically occurs in the context of contract management within the SAP system, particularly in the SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Unsaved Changes: You have made changes to the contract that have not yet been saved. The system prevents you from removing or deleting the contract until these changes are either saved or discarded.
  Session Management: If you have multiple sessions open, changes made in one session may not be saved in another, leading to this error when trying to manipulate the contract.
  User Lock: Another user may have locked the contract for editing, which can also lead to this error if you attempt to remove it from the work area.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Save Changes: If you have made changes to the contract, ensure that you save them before attempting to remove the contract from the work area. Look for a "Save" button or use the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl + S) to save your changes.
  
  
  Discard Changes: If you do not want to keep the changes you made, you can discard them. Look for an option to "Cancel" or "Discard" changes, which will revert the contract to its last saved state.
  
  
  Check for Locks: If you suspect that another user has locked the contract, you can check the lock entries in the system. You may need to coordinate with that user to resolve any conflicts.
  
  
  Refresh the Session: If you are working in multiple sessions, try refreshing or closing the session where the changes were made. This can help clear any inconsistencies.
  
  
  Log Out and Log Back In: If the issue persists, logging out of the SAP system and logging back in can sometimes resolve temporary glitches.
