  The SAP error message FARR_PROCESS_CHECK021 indicates that there is an issue with a performance obligation (Perf. oblig.) that has a finalization date set, which is not supported in the current context of the transaction or process you are trying to execute. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) module, particularly when dealing with performance obligations and their lifecycle.

  Solution:
  
  Check the Performance Obligation: Review the performance obligation in question to confirm its status and finalization date. If it is finalized, you will not be able to make changes or process it further.
  Adjust the Transaction: If you need to perform an action on this performance obligation, consider whether you can do so on a different obligation that is not finalized.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines to understand the implications of finalization dates on performance obligations.
  Configuration Review: If you believe the finalization should not have occurred, review the configuration settings in the RAR module to ensure they align with your business processes.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
