• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06510 - According to quota arrangement, it is not this source's turn ?

  The SAP error message 06510, which states "According to quota arrangement, it is not this source's turn," typically occurs in the context of quota arrangements in materials management or procurement processes. This error indicates that the system is enforcing a quota arrangement that dictates how much of a particular material can be sourced from different suppliers or sources, and the current source is not eligible to fulfill the order at this time.
  Cause:
  
  Quota Arrangement Configuration: The quota arrangement may be set up in such a way that it specifies a sequence or priority for sourcing materials from different vendors. If the current vendor is not next in line according to the defined quota, this error will occur.
  Quota Utilization: The quota for the current source may have already been fully utilized, or the quota arrangement may not allow for sourcing from this vendor at the current time.
  Time Constraints: There may be time-based restrictions in the quota arrangement that prevent sourcing from certain vendors during specific periods.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Quota Arrangement: Check the quota arrangement settings in the system. Ensure that the current source is indeed eligible to fulfill the order based on the defined quotas.
  
  Navigate to the quota arrangement in the SAP system (Transaction Code: MEQ1 for creating and MEQ2 for changing).
  Verify the sequence and allocation percentages for each source.
  
  
  
  Adjust Quota Allocation: If necessary, adjust the quota allocation to allow the current source to fulfill the order. This may involve changing the priority or increasing the quota for the vendor.
  
  
  Check Quota Utilization: Review the utilization of the quota for the current source. If the quota has been exhausted, consider increasing it or redistributing the quota among the sources.
  
  
  Consult with Procurement Team: If you are unsure about the changes to be made, consult with your procurement or materials management team to understand the implications of modifying the quota arrangement.
  
  
  Alternative Sourcing: If the current source cannot fulfill the order, consider sourcing from another vendor that is eligible according to the quota arrangement.
  
  
  Related Information:

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MEQ1 (Create Quota Arrangement), MEQ2 (Change Quota Arrangement), and MEQ3 (Display Quota Arrangement).
