• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_SD_COMMON057 - Delivery quantity of BOM item is not in proportion to the main item ?

  The SAP error message FSH_SD_COMMON057 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the delivery quantity of a Bill of Materials (BOM) item in relation to the main item. This typically occurs in scenarios where a main item (parent) is associated with one or more BOM components (children), and the quantities of these components do not match the expected proportions based on the BOM configuration.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect BOM Configuration: The BOM may not be set up correctly, leading to mismatched quantities. For example, if the BOM specifies that for every 1 unit of the main item, 2 units of a component are required, but the delivery quantity does not reflect this ratio, the error will occur.
  
  
  Delivery Quantity Mismatch: The delivery quantity of the BOM components does not align with the quantity of the main item being delivered. This can happen if the main item is delivered in a different quantity than what the BOM specifies.
  
  
  Manual Adjustments: If manual adjustments were made to the delivery quantities after the BOM was created, this could lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Sales Order Issues: If the sales order does not reflect the correct quantities for the main item and its components, this can also trigger the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration: Review the BOM for the main item to ensure that the component quantities are correctly defined. Make sure that the proportions are set up as intended.
  
  
  Adjust Delivery Quantities: Ensure that the delivery quantities for both the main item and the BOM components are in the correct ratio. If necessary, adjust the delivery quantities to match the BOM specifications.
  
  
  Review Sales Order: Check the sales order associated with the delivery to ensure that the quantities are correct and consistent with the BOM.
  
  
  Recreate Delivery: If the issue persists, consider deleting the current delivery and recreating it based on the correct quantities as per the BOM.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling BOM-related errors.
