  The SAP error message /PLMI/RCA_CALC100: Loops not allowed in derived quant. group based component dependency tree typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) when there is a circular dependency in the planning model. This error indicates that the system has detected a loop in the component dependency tree, which is not allowed.

  Data Issues: Inconsistent or incorrect data in the master data or transaction data can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Dependency Configuration: Check the configuration of the component dependencies in the planning model. Ensure that there are no circular references. You may need to adjust the dependencies to eliminate any loops.
  Analyze Derived Quantities: Look into the derived quantity groups and their relationships. Make sure that the derived quantities are set up correctly and do not reference each other in a way that creates a loop.
  Data Validation: Validate the master data and transaction data to ensure there are no inconsistencies that could lead to circular dependencies.
  Use Debugging Tools: Utilize SAP's debugging tools or transaction codes (like /SAPAPO/RCAT for checking the planning area) to analyze the dependency tree and identify where the loop is occurring.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
