  Review Contract Configuration: Check the configuration of the template contract in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up to use only one rate category.
  Modify Rate Categories: If the contract needs to be modified, remove any additional rate categories that are not supported. Ensure that only one rate category is assigned to the contract.
