  The SAP error message FGD_CORE003: Quantity must be bigger than 0 typically occurs in the context of inventory management, sales order processing, or any transaction where a quantity is expected to be specified. This error indicates that the system has encountered a situation where a quantity field is either zero or negative, which is not acceptable for the operation being performed.
  Causes:
  
  Zero or Negative Quantity: The most straightforward cause is that the user has entered a quantity of zero or a negative number in a field that requires a positive quantity.
  Data Entry Error: Mistakes during data entry, such as typographical errors or incorrect calculations, can lead to this error.
  System Configuration: In some cases, the system configuration or business rules may enforce that certain transactions cannot proceed without a positive quantity.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Quantity Input: Review the quantity field in the transaction and ensure that it is set to a positive value greater than zero.
  Validation of Data: If the quantity is being derived from another source (like a previous transaction or an external system), validate that the source data is correct and that it is being passed correctly.
  Review Business Logic: If you are a developer or have access to the configuration, check the business logic or validation rules that might be enforcing this requirement.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained to enter valid quantities and understand the implications of entering zero or negative values.
  Debugging: If the error persists and is not due to user input, consider debugging the transaction to identify where the quantity is being set incorrectly.
