  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CAK_FBO027 Contract type &1 cannot be created with reference to quote type &2 typically occurs in the context of contract management and sales processes within SAP. This error indicates that there is a mismatch or incompatibility between the contract type you are trying to create and the quote type you are referencing.

  Navigate to: Sales and Distribution -> Sales -> Sales Documents -> Define Contract Types and Define Quotation Types.
  Ensure that the contract type you are trying to create is allowed for the quote type you are referencing.
