  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC_INB164 - ATINN &1 is not allowed in MAN_QUOTA_TAB (only &2 and &3 are allowed) ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WRF_APC_INB164 ATINN &1 is not allowed in MAN_QUOTA_TAB (only &2 and &3 are allowed)


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically during the integration or transfer of data related to production orders, process orders, or planned orders into the SAP ERP system or within APO's internal tables.

    • ATINN refers to the allocation type or availability check indicator.
    • The error indicates that the allocation type (ATINN) value being processed is not allowed in the MAN_QUOTA_TAB table.
    • The MAN_QUOTA_TAB is a table or internal structure that holds allowed allocation types or quota arrangements for manual quota determination.
    • Only certain allocation types (represented by &2 and &3 in the message) are permitted in this table.
    • The system found an allocation type (&1) that is not among the allowed values.

    This usually happens when:

    • The configuration for quota arrangement or availability check is inconsistent.
    • The master data or order data contains an allocation type that is not supported or incorrectly maintained.
    • Custom or incorrect allocation types are used in the order or planning data.

    Where it Occurs:

    • During order confirmation, availability check, or quota arrangement in SAP APO or during CIF (Core Interface) transfer between APO and ERP.
    • When the system tries to assign or validate allocation types in manual quota tables.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check Allowed Allocation Types:

      • Identify which allocation types are allowed in the MAN_QUOTA_TAB.
      • Usually, these are standard allocation types defined in customizing.
    2. Verify Configuration:

      • Go to SPRO ? Production ? Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements ? Quota Arrangement.
      • Check the quota arrangement settings and allowed allocation types.
      • Ensure that the allocation types used in the order or planning data are consistent with the allowed types.
    3. Check Master Data / Order Data:

      • Review the allocation type (ATINN) in the order or planning object.
      • Correct any invalid or custom allocation types that are not supported.
    4. Adjust or Correct Allocation Types:

      • If a custom allocation type is required, it must be properly configured and allowed in the quota arrangement.
      • Otherwise, replace the invalid allocation type with a valid one.
    5. Debug / Trace:

      • If unclear, debug the process or check the logs to see where the invalid allocation type is coming from.
      • Use transaction /SAPAPO/SDP94 or related APO transactions to check quota arrangements.
    6. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to WRF_APC_INB164 for any patches or known issues.

    Additional Information:

    • ATINN: Allocation type indicator used in availability check and quota arrangement.
    • MAN_QUOTA_TAB: Internal table or structure holding allowed manual quota allocation types.
    • The error message placeholders:
      • &1 = The invalid allocation type found.
      • &2 and &3 = The allowed allocation types.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Invalid allocation type (ATINN) used in manual quota table; only certain types allowed.
    Effect System throws error and stops processing quota arrangement or availability check.
    Solution Correct allocation type in order/planning data or configuration to allowed values.
    Where to Check Quota arrangement customizing, order master data, APO planning data.
    Transactions SPRO (customizing), /SAPAPO/SDP94 (quota arrangement), debugging tools.

    If you provide the exact allocation type values (&1, &2, &3) from your system, I can help you identify which allocation types are involved and suggest more precise steps.
