What causes this issue?

You have attempted to create a budget billing plan for contract &V2&.
This is not possible, because the value in the <LS>BB procedure</>

represents a budget billing procedure (1 or 2). It is therefore not
possible to create a budget billing plan. You can only create a payment
plan (procedure 3) using <DS:TRAN.EK92>Simulate Payment Schedule</>.

System Response
