Symptom
- You create a Sales Order as a ollow-up from a Contract or by using Create with Reference.
- The system automatically copies the general data such as Account ID however the item data such as Product ID and Price Agreement are not copied from the contract to the sales order.
- Error messages are raised for each item:
Copying item XX not possible; configuration from Service - time and material to Service - time and material missing
Or
Copying item XX not possible; configuration from Service - fixed price to Service - fixed price missing
(XX represents the line item number)
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign

Cause
Currently creating a sales order with reference to a contract for service items is not supported.
For contracts with service items, the corresponding follow up document can only be service confirmations.
Resolution
This is the current system behaviour.
