How To Fix O5232 - Reference contract contains product restriction.

O5232 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: O5 - IS-Oil: MCOE message pool

• Message number: 232

• Message text: Reference contract contains product restriction.

What causes this issue?

The referenced contract contains a product restriction, while the
call-off order contains one or more line items that are not referenced
to a specific contract; therefore the restriction applies in this
instance.

System Response

Prior to creating orders, the system displays a warning message, an
error message or an information message if one of the materials already
entered in the call-off order does not reference a contract.

How to fix this error?

If the system displays an error message, the system takes you back to
the <ZK>Create with Reference</> dialog box. This allows you to choose
a new contract number. In case of a warning message or information
message, the user can override the message by choosing <ZK>Enter</> or
by changing the contract number by choosing <ZK>New Entry</>.
