  The SAP error message IWO_BAPI153 indicates that there is an issue with the activation of reservation effectivity or the generation of purchase requisitions, specifically stating that it is set to "Never." This typically occurs in the context of production planning and materials management within SAP.

  Adjust Planning Parameters:
