  The SAP error message 61636, "Creation of outline agreement requisitions in MRP not allowed," typically occurs when the system is configured in such a way that it does not permit the creation of requisitions from outline agreements during the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The MRP settings in the system may be configured to disallow the creation of requisitions from outline agreements. This can be set in the material master or in the MRP configuration.
  
  
  Outline Agreement Type: The type of outline agreement (e.g., contract, scheduling agreement) may not be compatible with MRP requisition creation.
  
  
  MRP Type: The MRP type assigned to the material may not support the creation of requisitions from outline agreements.
  
  
  Plant Settings: Specific plant settings may restrict the use of outline agreements for MRP.
