  Review Item Categories: Check the item categories involved in the transaction. Ensure that you are not trying to combine consumables, tools, and assets inappropriately.
  Separate Transactions: If you need to procure or manage these items, create separate transactions for each category. For example, create one purchase order for consumables and another for tools or assets.
  Check Configuration: If you believe the combination should be allowed, consult with your SAP administrator or configuration team to review the settings related to item categories and transaction types.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on item category combinations and restrictions.
