• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06568 - An outline agreement exists for this material ?

  The SAP error message 06568, which states "An outline agreement exists for this material," typically occurs when you are trying to create a purchase order or perform a similar action for a material that is already covered by an existing outline agreement (such as a contract or scheduling agreement).
