  The SAP error message /ACCGO/IC_MSG085 indicates that you are trying to maintain a mirror contract directly, which is not allowed. Instead, mirror contracts must be maintained through their leading contract. This is a common scenario in SAP systems that manage intercompany contracts or agreements.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You attempt to edit or maintain a mirror contract directly in the system.
  The system is designed to ensure that changes to the mirror contract are only made through the leading contract to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  Identify the Leading Contract: Determine which contract is the leading contract for the mirror contract you are trying to maintain.
  Access the Leading Contract: Navigate to the leading contract in the SAP system.
  Make Changes: Perform the necessary changes or maintenance on the leading contract.
  Check Mirror Contract: After making changes to the leading contract, check the mirror contract to ensure that the changes have been reflected.

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on contract management and the specific behavior of mirror contracts.
