  Cause:
  
  Quota Arrangement Configuration: The quota arrangement may not be configured correctly, or the quota percentages may not align with the planned quantities.

  Changes in Demand: An unexpected increase in demand or changes in the MRP run can lead to planned quantities that exceed the quota limits.
  Incorrect MRP Parameters: MRP settings or parameters may not be aligned with the quota arrangements, leading to discrepancies.

  Check Demand Forecasts: If there are changes in demand forecasts, update the MRP run accordingly to reflect the new requirements.
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders: If necessary, consult with procurement, production, or planning teams to understand the demand and supply situation better and make adjustments as needed.
