This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Contract Management or similar modules where certain contract models are defined with specific attributes that either allow or restrict extensions.
  Cause:
  
  Contract Model Restrictions: The contract model you are trying to extend is defined in the system as non-extendable. This could be due to the configuration settings in the contract model or the nature of the contract itself.
  Incorrect Configuration: The contract model may not have been set up correctly to allow extensions, or it may have been intentionally designed to be non-extendable for business reasons.
  System Settings: There may be system-wide settings or authorizations that restrict the ability to extend certain contract models.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Contract Model Settings: Review the configuration of the contract model in question. Ensure that it is set up to allow extensions. This may involve checking the model's attributes in the SAP configuration settings.
  Use an Extendable Contract Model: If the current contract model cannot be extended, consider using a different model that is designed to allow extensions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources to understand the specific attributes of the contract model and the implications of extending it.
  Contact SAP Support: If you believe the model should allow extensions based on your business requirements, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance or clarification on the model's configuration.
