This error is often encountered in the Materials Management (MM) module of SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Service Product Inclusion: The purchase contract or order you are trying to create includes service items (e.g., services that are not tied to a material number).
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to only allow material items in certain types of purchase contracts or orders.
  Item Category: The item category used in the purchase order or contract may not support service items.

  Check Item Categories: Ensure that the item categories used in your purchase order or contract are appropriate for the type of items you are trying to include. For example, if you need to include services, you may need to use an item category that supports services.
  Review Contract Type: If you are working with a purchase contract, verify that the contract type you are using allows for service items. Some contract types are specifically designed for material procurement only.
  Create Separate Orders: If you need to procure both materials and services, consider creating separate purchase orders or contracts for each type.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, check the settings in the SPRO transaction under Materials Management to see if there are restrictions on the types of items that can be included in purchase contracts.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify the purchase order or contract.
