How To Fix FARR_INFLIGHT_CHECK012 - C06: Def. item rev. <> 0 despite rev. block for cond. &1 POB &2 contr. &3

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FARR_INFLIGHT_CHECK -

• Message number: 012

• Message text: C06: Def. item rev. <> 0 despite rev. block for cond. &1 POB &2 contr. &3

What causes this issue?

This error is raised because a performance obligation with a revenue
recognition block has associated deferral items with revenue to be
recognized.
A revenue recognition block can be the result from for example:
The POB is pending review and the review reason has the 'Suspend
Posting' flag
The POB is in the error worklist
Posting revenue is manually suspended (via the UI) for that POB
This is valid for all types of POBs:
Time-based POBs
Event-based POBs
CI (customer invoice) triggered, value-relevant POBs
Given the POB has a revenue recognition block, the associated deferral
items are only checked if they have an open reconciliation key and are
associated with a non-statistical price condition.
The following special cases are also excluded from the check:
There has been a prospective splitout resulting from a contract
modification and the deferral item to be checked is affected by this
splitout. In this case the deferral item can have revenue despite of the
POB having a rev. rec. block
The deferral item in question has a deletion flag
In a case of impairment of asset, revenue is recognized immediately even
there is no fulfillment. This means that even if the POB has a revenue
recognition block, the revenue must be recognized and hence the deferral
items can have revenue to be recognized.
Example
The performance obligation POB1 has a deferral item for a scheduled
revenue of EUR 100 in the period January 2016.
Reconciliation Key,,POB ID,,Condition,,Revenue Amount Delta (EUR)
2016001000001,,POB1,,PR00,,100
At the same time, POB1 has posted revenue with a total of EUR 120 for
the same period. This is incorrect because the scheduled revenue and the
posted revenue must be equal.
Reconciliation Key,,POB ID,,Condition,,Posting Category,,Posted Revenue
in Transaction Currency (EUR)
2016001000001,,POB1,,PR00,,RV,,120
Buffers Checked
Deferral item buffer:,,MTS_DEFITEM_DATA_BUFFER
Posting data buffer:,,MT_POSTING_DATA_INST
POB data buffer:,,MTS_POB_DATA_BUFFER

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Revenue Block Settings: Verify the configuration of the revenue block for the condition item in question. Ensure that it is correctly set up to prevent revenue recognition.
