  The SAP error message 06116, which states "Quantity delivered differs from qty. issued (function not possible)," typically occurs in the context of inventory management and logistics when there is a mismatch between the quantity of goods that were issued and the quantity that was delivered. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during goods movements, deliveries, or inventory adjustments.
  Causes:

  Incorrect Document Reference: The document being processed may reference an incorrect or outdated delivery or issue document.

  Adjust Deliveries: If a partial delivery is intended, ensure that the system is set up to allow for partial deliveries, and adjust the quantities accordingly.
  Recreate Documents: If there are discrepancies that cannot be resolved, consider canceling the existing documents and recreating them with the correct quantities.
  Check Document Flow: Use transaction codes like MB03 (Display Material Document) or VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) to check the document flow and ensure that all related documents are consistent.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to inventory management and delivery processing.
