• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06562 - Quota arrangement specifies internal procurement ?

  The SAP error message 06562, which states "Quota arrangement specifies internal procurement," typically occurs in the context of materials management and procurement processes. This error indicates that the quota arrangement you are trying to use is set up for internal procurement, but the system is expecting external procurement.
  Cause:
  
  Quota Arrangement Configuration: The quota arrangement is configured to allow only internal procurement (e.g., from a plant within the same company code) but the transaction you are attempting to execute is trying to procure the material externally (e.g., from a vendor).
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may have settings that conflict with the quota arrangement, such as the procurement type being set to external when the quota arrangement is set for internal procurement.
  Purchase Info Record: There may be a mismatch in the purchase info record that is linked to the material, which could be set up for external procurement.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Quota Arrangement: Check the quota arrangement settings in the system. Ensure that it is configured correctly for the type of procurement you intend to perform (internal vs. external).
  
  Transaction Code: MEQ1 (to display quota arrangements)
  
  
  Adjust Material Master: Verify the material master record to ensure that the procurement type is set correctly. If you intend to procure externally, the procurement type should be set to "External" (E).
  
  Transaction Code: MM02 (to change material master)
  
  
  Check Purchase Info Record: Review the purchase info record associated with the material to ensure it is set up for the correct vendor and procurement type.
  
  Transaction Code: ME11 (to create or change purchase info records)
  
  
  Modify Quota Arrangement: If you need to use external procurement, consider modifying the quota arrangement to include external sources or create a new quota arrangement that allows for external procurement.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the settings, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP MM consultant for guidance on configuring quota arrangements.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Quota Arrangement: A quota arrangement in SAP is used to allocate procurement quantities among different sources of supply (vendors or internal plants) based on predefined criteria.
  Internal vs. External Procurement: Internal procurement refers to sourcing materials from within the organization (e.g., from another plant), while external procurement refers to sourcing materials from external vendors.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MEQ1, MM02, and ME11 for managing quota arrangements, material master records, and purchase info records, respectively.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message 06562 and ensure that your procurement process aligns with the configured quota arrangements.
