• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB2B310 - Trading contract type &1 allows doc. creation with service methods only ?

  The SAP error message WB2B310 indicates that the trading contract type you are trying to use is configured to allow document creation only with service methods. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's contract management or sales and distribution modules, where specific contract types are set up to handle only certain types of transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Contract Type Configuration: The trading contract type you are using is configured to accept only service-related documents. This means that it does not allow the creation of documents related to goods or products.
  Document Type Restrictions: The system is enforcing rules based on the configuration of the trading contract type, which may have been set up to restrict the types of documents that can be created.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Contract Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the trading contract type in SAP (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant section for contract management and check the settings for the specific contract type you are using.
  Ensure that the contract type is set up to allow the creation of the desired document types (e.g., goods-related documents if applicable).
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Document Type:
  
  If the contract type is indeed limited to service methods, ensure that you are using the correct document type that aligns with the contract type's configuration.
  If you need to create a document for goods, consider using a different contract type that allows for such transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or need to change it, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant who can help adjust the settings as needed.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Check SAP documentation or help resources for more details on the specific contract type and its allowed document types.
