  The SAP error message FARR_RAI590 indicates that there is an issue with the billing of items that belong to different contracts within the context of a Bill of Material (BOM). This error typically arises in scenarios where you are trying to process a billing document that includes components from multiple contracts, which is not allowed in SAP.
  Cause:

  Creating a new BOM that consolidates the items under one contract.
  Adjusting the existing BOM to remove or replace items that belong to different contracts.
  
  
  
  Review Item Master Data: Check the master data for the items in the BOM to confirm their contract associations. You may need to update the master data to ensure consistency.
