Symptom
When adding a service item into a Lead, you get error messages:
- Service product and item type code do not match. Check your service master data to ensure that you have not defined a service product with an item category group for expenses, or vice versa.
- Service product with expense indicator not allowed.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
Go to the Marketing work center.
Click New Lead from Common Tasks view.
Enter the account and other mandatory data in the General tab, then go to Items facet.
Click Add Row and enter the service item ABC. (ABC represents the ID of the service item).
You get the error messages.
Cause
The service ABC is marked as Expense.
Expense item types are not supported in the Lead. They are supported in the Sales Quote and the sales documents afterwards.
Resolution
This is the designed system behavior.
An alternative option may be to check the SAP Customer Influence Platform to submit an idea.
