The SAP error message
/ACCGO/BR_UIS020 Trading contract is not a purchase contract
typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when dealing with trading contracts, particularly in the area of contract management or procurement. This error indicates that the system is expecting a purchase contract but has encountered a trading contract instead.Cause:
- Contract Type Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the system is trying to process a trading contract that is not classified as a purchase contract. This can happen if the contract was created with the wrong type or if the system is configured to expect a different type of contract.
- Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that dictate how contracts are categorized and processed. If these settings are not aligned with the business processes, it can lead to this error.
- Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the creation of the contract can lead to the system misidentifying the contract type.
Solution:
- Verify Contract Type: Check the contract in question to ensure that it is indeed a purchase contract. If it is a trading contract, you may need to create a new purchase contract or convert the existing one if possible.
- Review Configuration Settings: Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to contract types. Ensure that the system is set up to recognize and process the intended contract types correctly.
- Correct Data Entry: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, correct the relevant fields in the contract to ensure it is classified as a purchase contract.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
