Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_MSG_CUSTOM514 - Time-based POB &1 has 0 revenue but it starts before transfer date. ?

  The SAP error message FARR_MSG_CUSTOM514 indicates that there is a time-based Profitability Analysis (POB) that has zero revenue but starts before the transfer date. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Financial Accounting and Controlling (FI/CO) module, particularly when dealing with Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) or Asset Accounting (FI-AA).
  Cause:
  
  Zero Revenue: The POB (Profitability Object) in question has been defined with no revenue, which means that it does not generate any financial transactions.
  Transfer Date: The transfer date is the date when the system attempts to transfer data from one module to another (e.g., from Asset Accounting to Profitability Analysis). If the POB starts before this date but has no revenue, the system raises this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the settings for the Profitability Analysis or Asset Accounting that lead to this situation.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect or incomplete data entry during the creation of the POB could lead to it being defined without revenue.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review POB Configuration: Check the configuration of the Profitability Object to ensure that it is set up correctly and that it should indeed have revenue associated with it.
  Check Revenue Entries: Verify if there are any revenue entries that should have been posted to the POB. If there are missing entries, ensure that they are posted correctly.
  Adjust Transfer Date: If appropriate, consider adjusting the transfer date to a point where the POB has revenue. However, this should be done with caution and in accordance with business processes.
  Delete or Modify POB: If the POB is not needed or is incorrectly set up, consider deleting it or modifying its parameters to ensure it aligns with the business requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your system configuration and business processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as FARR (for Asset Accounting) or KE30 (for Profitability Analysis reports) to investigate further.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Exits and Enhancements: If your organization has custom enhancements or user exits, ensure that they are not interfering with the standard processing of POBs.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SAP FI/CO for more in-depth analysis and resolution.
