  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CAS_PTC155 Contract &1 is a spot contract; contract not allowed typically occurs in the context of contract management within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with contracts that are classified as "spot contracts." Spot contracts are usually short-term agreements for immediate delivery or service, and they may not be allowed in certain processes or transactions that require long-term contracts.
  Cause:

  Configuration Settings: The settings in the SAP system may not allow spot contracts for the particular business process you are trying to execute.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Contract Type: Verify the type of contract you are trying to use. If it is indeed a spot contract and the process requires a long-term contract, you may need to create or use a different contract type.
  Review Transaction Requirements: Look into the specific transaction you are attempting to execute and check its requirements regarding contract types. Ensure that you are using a contract that is compatible with the transaction.
  Configuration Review: If you have access to the configuration settings, review the settings related to contract management to see if there are any restrictions on the use of spot contracts. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to adjust these settings if necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on contract types and their allowed uses within your specific SAP module.
