How to fix this error?

The cause for the inactive user type can have several reasons:
The user type is not in an activated price list. You have the following
options:
Reclassify the user(s). To do this, you can use the tool in the system
measurement transaction USMM that is used for migrating price lists (
<ZK>-> Environment -> Migration of price list</>).
Set the correct active price list(s) in the system measurement
transaction, on the tab page <ZK>price lists</>. It is only meaningful
to have multiple active price lists in exceptional cases.
The user type is on an activated price list(s), but is deactivated
using the <ZK>active</> indicator.
Start the system measurement transaction(USMM). On the <ZK>User types
</> tab page, set the corresponding <ZK>Active</> indicator, and save
the setting.
