The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you want to activate requirement prioritization, create a new data
record in the above IMG activity. Assign the values for the requirement
urgency and requirement priority that the system is always to use when
it cannot determine prioritization for a material requisition because no
requirement urgency has been specified or not all the relevant
Customizing settings have been made. In the standard system, the values
<LS>99</> (requirement urgency) and <LS>255</> (requirement priority)
are proposed. The values that you define when you activate requirement
prioritization must be defined in the IMG activities
<DS:SIMG.PURG_V>Define and Assign Requirement Urgencies</> and
<DS:SIMG.PREQ_V>Define Requirement Priorities</>. You then set the
<LS>Prioritization Is Active</> indicator to specify whether you want to
activate requirement prioritization.
