  Error Message
  VFRR044: Maintain the revenue event type only for type 'B'
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to maintain or assign a revenue event type in a context where it is only allowed for event types of type 'B' (Billing). In SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR), revenue event types are categorized by their event type category, such as:
  
  B = Billing event types
  C = Contract event types
  D = Delivery event types
  etc.
  
  The system enforces that revenue event types can only be maintained or assigned for event types of category 'B' (Billing). If you attempt to maintain a revenue event type for an event type that is not of type 'B', the system throws this error.
  
  When does this happen?
  
  When configuring or maintaining revenue event types in transaction VFRR or related customizing.
  When assigning revenue event types to event types that are not billing event types.
  During configuration of revenue recognition rules or event type mapping in SAP RAR.
  
  
  Solution
  
  Check the event type category: Verify that the event type you are trying to maintain or assign a revenue event type for is indeed of type 'B' (Billing).
  Correct the event type: If you mistakenly selected an event type of a different category, change it to a billing event type.
  Maintain revenue event types only for billing event types: Ensure that revenue event types are only maintained for event types categorized as 'B'.
  Review customizing settings: Use transaction VFRR or the IMG path for Revenue Accounting and Reporting to review and correct the event type assignments.
