  Error Message
  VR524: No sales document type from category 'quot.' with subsequent order type exists
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during sales document processing (usually when creating a sales order or a subsequent document) and indicates that the system cannot find a quotation document type (category 'quot.') that is configured to allow a subsequent order type.
  In SAP SD, sales document types are categorized (e.g., inquiry, quotation, sales order, etc.). Some quotation document types are configured to allow creation of subsequent sales orders. The error means:
  
  The system is trying to find a quotation document type that allows the creation of a subsequent sales order document type.
  No such quotation document type exists or is properly configured in the customizing.
  This typically happens when you try to create a sales order with reference to a quotation, but the quotation document type does not have the subsequent order type assigned.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When creating a sales order with reference to a quotation.
  When the system tries to find a quotation document type that allows the subsequent order type (sales order) but fails.
  During sales document type determination or reference document check.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Sales Document Type Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Sales ? Sales Documents ? Sales Document Header ? Define Sales Document Types.
  Find the quotation document type(s) (category 'QT' or 'quotation').
  Check the field Subsequent Document Type or Subsequent Sales Document Type.
  Ensure that the quotation document type has the correct subsequent sales order document type assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Subsequent Document Types:
  
  In the quotation document type configuration, assign the sales order document type(s) that can be created with reference to this quotation.
  For example, if your sales order document type is 'OR', assign 'OR' as a subsequent document type to the quotation document type 'QT'.
  
  
  
  Check Document Category:
  
  Verify that the quotation document type is correctly categorized as 'quotation' (category 'Q' or 'QT').
  The system uses this category to find the document type.
  
  
  
  Check Copy Control Settings:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Sales ? Sales Documents ? Copying Control.
  Check the copying control from quotation to sales order.
  Ensure that the copying control is properly maintained for the document types involved.
  
  
  
  Check User Input:
  
  Verify that the sales order creation is referencing a valid quotation document.
  Sometimes, the reference document number or type entered is incorrect or does not exist.
