  Cause:
  
  Material Type: The material in question may not be defined as a service material in the material master. In SAP, materials are categorized by types (e.g., raw materials, finished goods, services). If the material type is not set to a service type, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the material from being recognized as a service.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the material type of the specified material. Ensure that it is set up as a service material (e.g., material type D for services).

  Review Item Category:

  Configuration Settings:
