  Cause:
  This error arises when a user attempts to enter a passenger type code (such as adult, child, infant, etc.) for a fare that has been negotiated. Negotiated fares are typically pre-defined rates agreed upon between a company and a service provider (like an airline) and are usually not meant to be modified with passenger type codes.

  Check Fare Configuration: Ensure that the fare you are trying to book is indeed a negotiated fare. If it is not, you may need to select a different fare that allows for passenger type codes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or configuration settings related to travel management and negotiated fares to understand the rules and restrictions in place.
