• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_PROCESS_CHECK073 - Exclude from allocation is not supported for non-distinct POB &1 ?

  The SAP error message FARR_PROCESS_CHECK073 indicates that there is an issue with the allocation process in the context of a non-distinct Profitability Object (POB). This error typically arises when you are trying to exclude a non-distinct POB from allocation, which is not supported by the system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The allocation process in SAP requires distinct Profitability Objects to be handled in a specific way.
  Non-distinct POBs do not have unique identifiers that allow for exclusion from allocation processes.
  The system is designed to manage allocations based on distinct POBs, and attempting to exclude a non-distinct POB violates this rule.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Allocation Settings: Check the allocation settings in your configuration. Ensure that you are not trying to exclude non-distinct POBs from the allocation process.
  
  
  Adjust POB Configuration: If possible, modify the configuration of the POBs involved. Ensure that the POBs you are working with are distinct and can be managed according to the allocation rules.
  
  
  Modify Allocation Logic: If your business process allows, consider changing the logic of your allocation to include the non-distinct POBs rather than excluding them.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling POBs in allocation processes.
  
  
  Seek Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide insights based on your specific configuration and business processes.

  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and ensure that your allocation processes function correctly within SAP.
