How To Fix FARR_INFLIGHT_CHECK040 - C25: Source of Price flag is incorrect for POB &1 in contract &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FARR_INFLIGHT_CHECK -

• Message number: 040

• Message text: C25: Source of Price flag is incorrect for POB &1 in contract &2

What causes this issue?

A POB must have the source of price (SOURCE_OF_PRICE) flag if it has a
latest deferral item for a main price and whenever a price condition
(except a reversed condition type like SSP) is provided for a revenue
accounting item.
This is true for the following cases:
Normal POB ('standalone POB', not part of any structure): The POB must
have the source of price flag if it has either a latest deferral item
for a main price
Leading POB
Compound group POB (only lower level POBs)
BOM related POB (Distinct and Compound BOM)
In the following cases, the POB must never have the source of price
flag:
Linked POB
Manually added POB
Compound group header POB
POBs which are already marked for deletion are excluded from the check.
Example:
The distinct performance obligation POB1 is not part of any POB
structure or hierarchy. It does not have the source of price flag.
POB ID,,Distinct type,,Higher level POB,,BOM header POB,,Source of price
POB1,,D (distinct),,[blank],,[blank],,[blank] (incorrect)
However, there is a corresponding deferral item for a main price and a
condition type assigned to POB1.
Reconciliation key,,POB ID,,Condition,,Special indicator,,Category,,
Latest entry flag
2017012001,,,,POB1,,PR00,,P (main price),,P (price),,X
Condition type
POB ID,,Condition,,Category
POB1,,PR00,,P (price)
This is incorrect because POB1 must carry the source of price flag.
Buffers checked:
Condition type buffer:,,MT_COND_TYPE_DATA_BUFFER
POB data buffer:,,,,MTS_POB_DATA_BUFFER
Deferral item buffer: ,,,,MTS_DEFITEM_DATA_BUFFER_LATEST
