3283020 - The New Button is Disabled in the Sales Contract section in Sales Document tab of a Sales Quote

Symptom

In a Sales Quote, it's not possible to create a follow-up Contract, because the New button is greyed out.

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open Sales Quote 123 (123 represents the quote ID).
  2. Navigate to Sales Documents tab. 
  3. Under Contracts section, the New button is grayed out so that you cannot create a new contract. 
  4. The sales quote is also consistent.

Cause

A possible reason is,  Sales quote 123 has a document type which is bi-directional, which forbids creation of a follow-up contract.

Resolution

This is the expected system behaviour. For such sales quotes, the follow-up contract has to be created in the external ERP system.
