• Key Concepts: 
  Quota check is a feature of the SAP SCM-IBP-PLA Planning Framework that allows users to set limits on the amount of material that can be planned for a given period. This helps to ensure that the amount of material planned does not exceed the available capacity or resources. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use quota check, users must first define the quota limits for each period in the planning framework. This can be done by setting a maximum quantity for each material or resource. Once the quota limits are set, the system will automatically check if the planned quantity exceeds the quota limit and will alert users if it does. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the quota limits are set correctly in order for quota check to be effective. It is also important to regularly review and update the quota limits as needed in order to ensure that they remain accurate and up-to-date.
