  The SAP error message DI_PCS006: Not allowed for PM typically occurs in the context of the SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) module when there is an attempt to perform an operation that is not permitted for the specific configuration or data being used. This error can arise in various scenarios, such as when trying to create or modify a maintenance order, work order, or other PM-related documents.
  Causes:
  
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be configured to allow certain operations for PM. This could be due to settings in the configuration of the PM module or related modules.
  Authorization Problems: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action in the PM module.

  Status of the Object: The object (e.g., maintenance order) may be in a status that does not allow the requested operation (e.g., if it is already completed or closed).

  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the PM module to ensure that the operation you are trying to perform is allowed. This may involve checking settings in transaction codes like SPRO.
