• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PMG/GE_GEN_MPE007 - Maximum cardinality reached for the IBC template &1, for child entity &2 ?

  The SAP error message /PMG/GE_GEN_MPE007 Maximum cardinality reached for the IBC template &1, for child entity &2 typically indicates that you are trying to add more instances of a child entity than the maximum allowed for a specific parent entity in the context of Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or similar SAP applications.
  Cause:
  
  Cardinality Limitations: Each parent-child relationship in SAP IBP has defined cardinality limits. For example, a parent entity might only allow a certain number of child entities to be associated with it. If you attempt to exceed this limit, you will encounter this error.
  Data Model Configuration: The data model may have been configured with specific cardinality settings that restrict the number of child entities.
  Incorrect Data Input: There may be an attempt to input data that does not conform to the defined relationships in the data model.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Cardinality Settings: Check the cardinality settings for the parent-child relationship in the data model. You may need to adjust these settings if the business requirements have changed.
  Limit Data Input: Ensure that the number of child entities you are trying to associate with the parent entity does not exceed the defined maximum. If necessary, reduce the number of child entities being added.
  Data Model Adjustment: If the current cardinality settings do not meet your business needs, consider modifying the data model to allow for a higher maximum cardinality. This may require changes in the configuration settings of the IBP application.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for your specific version of IBP or the relevant application to understand the cardinality rules and how to configure them properly.
