  The SAP error message /BOBF/FRW_CONTRACT018 indicates that there is an issue with the parameters being passed to a function or method in the Business Object Framework (BOBF). Specifically, the error states that either both parameters (denoted as &1 and &2) must be provided, or neither of them should be provided.

  Cause:
  
  Missing Parameters: One of the parameters is provided while the other is not, leading to an inconsistency.
  Incorrect Logic: The logic in the code or configuration may not be correctly handling the parameters, leading to one being set while the other is not.

  Solution:
  
  Check Parameter Values: Review the code or configuration where the parameters are being set. Ensure that both parameters are either populated or left empty.
  Validation Logic: Implement validation logic to check if both parameters are filled or both are empty before proceeding with the function call.
  User Interface: If applicable, ensure that the user interface clearly indicates that both parameters are required or that they should not be filled at the same time.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, step through the code to see where the parameters are being set and identify why one might be missing.
  Documentation: Refer to the relevant SAP documentation or help resources for the specific function or method to understand the expected behavior regarding these parameters.
