  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC655 Quota scale &1 does not exist or it is not allowed
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system tries to access or use a quota scale that either:
  
  Does not exist in the system, or  
  Exists but is not allowed or valid in the current context (e.g., for the specific personnel area, employee subgroup, or time evaluation schema).
  
  Quota scales are used in SAP Time Management to define how quota entitlements are calculated or scaled (e.g., for leave entitlements).
  Common causes include:
  
  The quota scale number referenced in the time evaluation or personnel time management configuration is missing or incorrectly maintained.
  The quota scale is not assigned or allowed for the particular personnel area or employee subgroup.
  Incorrect or incomplete configuration in the quota scale or related infotypes.
  Data inconsistency or missing master data related to quota scales.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Quota Scale Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? Personnel Management ? Time Management ? Time Data Recording and Administration ? Quotas ? Define Quota Scales.
  Verify that the quota scale number mentioned in the error message (&1) exists.
  If it does not exist, create the quota scale as required.
  
  
  
  Verify Assignment:
  
  Check if the quota scale is assigned correctly to the relevant personnel area, employee subgroup, or time evaluation schema.
  Ensure that the quota scale is allowed for the employee group in question.
  
  
  
  Check Infotype 2006 (Absences) or Quota Infotypes:
  
  Review the employee’s quota infotypes (e.g., 2006, 2007) to ensure the quota scale used is valid.
  Correct any incorrect quota scale entries.
  
  
  
  Review Time Evaluation Schema:
  
  If the error occurs during time evaluation, check the schema and rules that reference quota scales.
  Make sure the quota scale referenced in the schema exists and is valid.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks for time management data.
  Use transaction PTQTA (Quota Overview) to check quota data for the employee.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If this error appears after a transport or system upgrade, verify that all relevant customizing objects related to quota scales have been transported correctly.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Consulting with SAP HR/Time Management functional consultant.
