• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_MSG_CUSTOM037 - Compound POB &1 has only one non-distinct, lower-level POB ?

  The SAP error message FARR_MSG_CUSTOM037 indicates that there is an issue with a Compound Profitability Object (POB) in the context of SAP's Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) module. Specifically, the message states that the compound POB you are trying to work with has only one non-distinct, lower-level POB associated with it. This situation can arise when the system expects a compound POB to have multiple distinct lower-level POBs for proper analysis and reporting.
  Cause:
  
  Single Non-Distinct Lower-Level POB: The compound POB is designed to aggregate data from multiple lower-level POBs, but in this case, it is only linked to one lower-level POB that is not distinct. This can happen if the configuration of the POBs is not set up correctly or if there has been a change in the underlying data structure.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the POBs in the system, leading to the compound POB being incorrectly defined.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be data integrity issues where the expected relationships between POBs are not maintained.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review POB Configuration: Check the configuration of the compound POB and its associated lower-level POBs. Ensure that the compound POB is set up to include multiple distinct lower-level POBs.
  Adjust POB Relationships: If the compound POB is intended to aggregate data from multiple lower-level POBs, you may need to adjust the relationships or definitions of the POBs involved.
  Create Additional Lower-Level POBs: If appropriate, consider creating additional distinct lower-level POBs that can be associated with the compound POB to meet the requirements of the analysis.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring POBs correctly.
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error message no longer appears and that the desired functionality is achieved.
