How To Fix MSR_SD019 - Quantity of subitem &1 differs from BOM component quantity

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MSR_SD - Multistep returns

• Message number: 019

• Message text: Quantity of subitem &1 differs from BOM component quantity

What causes this issue?

You have changed the quantity of a subitem related to a BOM material or
full product manually. This is only allowed when the item quantity of
the BOM material or full product equals 1 base unit of measure.

System Response

The system does not accept the change. You cannot save the returns
order.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the quantity of the BOM header is correct.
Check whether the BOM header is a full product and is supposed to have
the quantity of 1 base UoM.
If, instead, the quantity of the BOM header is correct, don't change the
quantity of subitems manually.

What causes this issue?

When returning a bill of material (BOM) and the return quantity of the
main item is more than one base unit of measure, the return quantity of
the sub-items must comply with the ratio of component quantities as
defined in the BOM.

How can this happen?

In the product master data, the component quantities of your BOM have
been defined as follows:
Main item,,1 piece
Sub-item A,,3 pieces
Sub-item B,,5 pieces
If you return <ZH>4</> pieces of the main item and if both the sub-items
are to be returned, the return quantities of the sub-items can only be
<ZH>12</> pieces and <ZH>20</> pieces, based on the ratio 1:3:5.
