  The SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI083 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment quantity in relation to the Bill of Materials (BOM) item quantity. Specifically, the error states that the assignment quantity (the quantity you are trying to assign) is greater than the available quantity of the BOM item.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in scenarios where:
  
  You are trying to assign a quantity of a component or material that exceeds the quantity available in the BOM.
  There may be a mismatch between the quantities defined in the BOM and the quantities you are attempting to use in a production order, sales order, or any other related transaction.
  The BOM may not be updated or may not reflect the current inventory levels or production requirements.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check BOM Quantity:
  
  Verify the BOM for the item in question. Ensure that the quantity defined in the BOM matches the quantity you are trying to assign.
  You can do this by navigating to the BOM transaction (CS03) and checking the details of the BOM item.
  
  
  
  Adjust Assignment Quantity:
  
  If the assignment quantity is indeed greater than the BOM item quantity, you will need to adjust the assignment quantity to be less than or equal to the BOM item quantity.
  
  
  
  Update BOM:
  
  If the BOM quantity is incorrect or outdated, you may need to update the BOM to reflect the correct quantities. This can be done using transaction CS02 (Change BOM).
  
  
  
  Check Inventory Levels:
  
  Ensure that the inventory levels for the components are sufficient to meet the assignment requirements. You can check this using transaction MMBE (Stock Overview).
