  Solution:
  
  Review Contract Type: Check the configuration of the contract type in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up correctly to allow for item-level maintenance if that is required. If the contract is intended to be header-only, ensure that no item-level data is being entered.

  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to contract management to understand the specific requirements and limitations of the contract type you are working with.
