  Changes in Demand: If there are changes in demand or supply that have not been updated in the system, it can lead to discrepancies.

  Complete Previous Processes: Ensure that all previous processes related to the order have been completed successfully. For example, if a goods receipt is pending, complete it to update the open quantity.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings for the relevant modules are correctly configured.
