  The SAP error message FARR_MSG_CUSTOM022 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the transaction prices within a contract. Specifically, it states that all transaction prices in the contract must have the same sign (either all positive or all negative). This error typically arises in the context of contract management, particularly in the area of financial agreements or leasing contracts.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of transaction prices in the contract that have mixed signs.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all transaction prices in the contract have the same sign. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Review the Contract: Go to the contract in question and review all the transaction prices associated with it.
  
  
  Identify Mixed Signs: Check for any transaction prices that are positive and negative. You can do this by looking at the pricing details or transaction history.

  If the contract is intended to have all positive prices, change any negative prices to positive.
  Conversely, if the contract should have all negative prices, change any positive prices to negative.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the contract.
