  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_UI278 ("Select only contracts to combine") typically occurs in the context of contract management within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with the combination of contracts in the SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module.
  Cause:
  This error message is triggered when the user attempts to combine contracts that do not meet the criteria for combination. The system expects that only contracts of a specific type or status can be selected for this operation.

  Review Selected Contracts: Check the contracts you have selected for combination. Ensure that all selected contracts are of the same type and status. 
  
  
  Contract Status: Verify that the contracts are in a status that allows them to be combined. For example, contracts that are already finalized or in a closed status may not be eligible for combination.
  
  
  Contract Type: Ensure that all selected contracts are of the same type (e.g., lease contracts, rental contracts). Mixing different types can lead to this error.
  
  
  Selection Criteria: If you are using any filters or selection criteria, make sure they are set correctly to only include eligible contracts.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to contract management for specific rules regarding contract combination.
