  Review Planning Data: Check the planned sales volumes in both the PP and SD modules. Ensure that the planned sales volume in PP does not exceed that in SD.

  Check Master Data: Review the relevant master data (material master, sales forecasts, etc.) to ensure that all entries are correct and consistent across both modules.
  Re-run Planning: After making adjustments, re-run the planning process to ensure that the changes are reflected and that the error does not occur again.
