  The SAP error message REXCPT4007 indicates that there are missing settings for contract types in the Customizing settings of the SAP system. This error typically arises when the system is unable to find the necessary configuration for the specific contract type being used in the transaction.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Customizing Entries: The contract type you are trying to use has not been defined in the Customizing settings.
  Incorrect Configuration: The contract type may be defined, but the necessary settings (like status management, item categories, etc.) are not properly configured.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system, it may not have been fully or correctly transported.

  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:

  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) by using transaction code SPRO.
