This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) within SAP, where quota arrangements are used to manage the allocation of production or procurement quantities among different sources.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the quota arrangement defined in the system has multiple entries that are either identical or overlap in a way that makes them redundant. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The same source or supplier is listed multiple times in the quota arrangement.

  Review Quota Arrangement:

  Ensure that each entry in the quota arrangement has a unique combination of source and conditions.
  
  
  
  Validate Changes:
  
  After making changes, validate the quota arrangement to ensure that it meets the requirements and does not contain any further redundancies.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
