For each unit of measure in the Unit of Measure Group (MARC-UOMGR), a
line item has to be present in the additional quantity appendix table
(Table MSEGO2)
For each unit of measure in the main core table MSEG that is not initial
a line item, has to be present in the additional quantity appendix
table (Table MSEGO2) and the corresponding packed format quantities
have to be identical.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

This way, inconsistent stock level updates can be prevented.
