  Solution:
  
  Check Document Type: Ensure that the document type you are using allows for service items. If it does not, you may need to change the document type or use a different item type.
  Use Material Master: If the process requires a main item, consider using a material master record instead of a service master record.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to service procurement and item types. This may involve consulting with your SAP configuration team or reviewing the relevant customizing settings.
  Service Master Record Setup: Verify that the service master record is correctly set up and active. Check for any missing or incorrect data in the service master record.
