• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C2164 - Production version selected is not allowed in quota planning ?

  The SAP error message C2164, "Production version selected is not allowed in quota planning," typically occurs in the context of production planning and control when there is an issue with the production version assigned to a material in relation to quota arrangements.
  Cause:
  
  Production Version Not Allowed: The production version you are trying to use for the material is not allowed in the quota arrangement. This can happen if the production version is not included in the quota or if it has been marked as inactive.
  Quota Arrangement Issues: The quota arrangement may not be properly set up for the specific production version or may not cover the required time frame.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may not be correctly configured, leading to inconsistencies between the production version and the quota planning settings.
  Plant-Specific Settings: The production version may be plant-specific, and the quota arrangement may not be set up for that particular plant.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Production Version: Verify that the production version you are trying to use is valid and active. You can do this by navigating to the material master (transaction MM03) and checking the production version in the relevant views.
  Review Quota Arrangement: Go to the quota arrangement (transaction MEQ1) and ensure that the production version is included in the quota. If it is not, you may need to add it.
  Adjust Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly configured, including the production version settings. Check if the production version is assigned to the correct plant and is active.
  Check Validity Period: Ensure that the validity period of the quota arrangement covers the date you are trying to plan for. If necessary, extend the validity period.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to quota planning and production versions for additional insights and best practices.
