  The SAP error message M7206 "Material & not managed in stock on quantity basis" typically occurs when you are trying to perform a transaction that requires quantity-based stock management for a material that is not set up for it. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during goods movements, inventory management, or when trying to create a purchase order.
  Cause:
  
  Material Master Settings: The material in question is not configured to be managed on a quantity basis. This can happen if the material is set up as a non-stock item or if it is managed on a different basis (e.g., value-based).

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the Material Master (transaction code MM03) and check the relevant views (Basic Data, Purchasing, and Accounting).
  Ensure that the material is set up for quantity management. This typically involves checking the "Stock Management" indicator in the Accounting view.
  
  
  
  Adjust Stock Type:
  
  If the material is not intended to be managed on a quantity basis, consider changing its stock type or settings to allow for quantity management.

  Review Movement Type:
