  Cause:

  Master Data Issues: The master data for the service or item may not be set up correctly, leading to this restriction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Contract Type: Ensure that you are using the correct contract type that is compatible with the service or item. If you need to use a different contract type, consider changing the service or item to one that is compatible.
  Review Service Configuration: Go to the configuration settings for the service or item in the SAP system. Check if it is indeed restricted to fixed price and periodic service contracts. If necessary, adjust the configuration to allow for other contract types.
  Update Master Data: If the master data for the service or item is incorrect, update it to reflect the correct settings. This may involve changing the contract type settings or ensuring that the service is marked as available for the desired contract types.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific configurations and restrictions related to the service or item in question.
