  Review Template Configuration: Check the configuration of the template in question. Ensure that the minimum cardinality settings are appropriate for the relationships defined in the template.
  Adjust Cardinality: If necessary, adjust the minimum cardinality settings to align with the actual data requirements. This may involve increasing the minimum cardinality or changing the relationship definitions.
  Data Validation: Validate the data being used with the template to ensure it meets the cardinality requirements. If there are records that do not comply, they may need to be corrected or removed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on cardinality settings and template configurations specific to your version of SAP IBP or the relevant module.
  Testing: After making changes, test the template with sample data to ensure that the error does not recur.
