This message indicates that the quantity of an item has been rounded to comply with the system's settings or business rules.

  Rounding Rules: SAP has specific rounding rules that may be applied based on the currency or unit of measure. If the quantity does not conform to these rules, it may be rounded.
  Unit of Measure: The unit of measure for the item may not allow for the precision required for the transaction, leading to automatic rounding.
