  The SAP error message "64260 No LIFO allocation possible" typically occurs in the context of inventory management and valuation, particularly when dealing with the Last In, First Out (LIFO) inventory valuation method. This error indicates that the system is unable to allocate stock using the LIFO method due to certain conditions not being met.
