• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06559 - Contract type incompatible with info record entered ?

  The SAP error message "06559 Contract type incompatible with info record entered" typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the contract type you are trying to use and the info record that has been selected in the procurement process. This error is often encountered in the context of purchasing documents, such as purchase orders or contracts.
  Cause:
  
  Contract Type Mismatch: The contract type specified in the purchase order or contract does not match the type of info record that has been created. For example, if you are trying to use a framework contract but the info record is set up for a standard purchase order, this error will occur.
  Info Record Configuration: The info record may not be configured to support the contract type you are trying to use. This can happen if the info record is set up for a specific type of procurement (e.g., stock material vs. non-stock material).
