  This warning message typically occurs in the context of quota arrangements in SAP, which are used in materials management (MM) to control the allocation of procurement quantities among different sources of supply.
  The message indicates that the header records of a quota arrangement have been deleted. This can happen if:
  
  The quota arrangement was manually deleted or changed in the system.
  The quota arrangement header was removed during a data cleanup or system update.
  The quota arrangement is no longer valid or has been replaced.
  There is an inconsistency between the quota arrangement header and the item-level data.
  
  When the system tries to access or reference a quota arrangement header that no longer exists, it issues this warning.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During purchase order creation or change, if the system tries to apply a quota arrangement that has been deleted.
  When running quota arrangement reports or transactions that reference the deleted header.
  During material master or quota arrangement maintenance if inconsistencies exist.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Quota Arrangement Status:
  
  Go to transaction MEQ1 (Create Quota Arrangement) or MEQ2 (Change Quota Arrangement).
  Verify if the quota arrangement header exists for the material and plant in question.
  If the header is missing, recreate the quota arrangement as needed.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Restore Quota Arrangement:
  
  If the quota arrangement was deleted unintentionally, restore it from backup or recreate it.
  Ensure that the quota arrangement header and item records are consistent.
  
  
  
  Adjust Purchase Documents:
  
  If purchase orders or scheduling agreements reference a deleted quota arrangement, update or remove the quota arrangement reference.
  Use transaction ME22N to change purchase orders and remove or correct quota arrangement data.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  Verify quota arrangement settings in SPRO under:
  Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Quota Arrangement -> Define Quota Arrangement
