System Response

In the quantity schedule, you can usually only maintain the scheduled
quantity at a value less than or equal to the item quantity (other
qty.fields are locked). With this function (built-in Report ROIACM00),
you can correct the &V1& quantity in whatever way you choose.

How to fix this error?

Avoid manual changes, use them only as a last resort to correct values.
If it is necessary to change the quantity manually using ROIACM00,
first go to document maintenance to check if the relevant document is
locked (ROIACM00 does not use separate enqueue logic), then start a
second session and start the report by entering an update parameter and
the special function, "CHRQ". The function might be necessary when
quantities are to be called, before the corresponding Qty.schedule has
been created (if the Qty. schedule is created subsequently, call-offs
which have already been made are not taken into account).
