  The SAP error message PRS114, which states "Postpone quantity cannot be greater than original DLI quantity," typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with the postponement of production orders or delivery quantities.
  Cause:
  This error arises when you attempt to postpone a quantity that exceeds the original quantity of the Delivery Line Item (DLI). The DLI represents the quantity of goods that are scheduled for delivery, and the system enforces a rule that the postponed quantity cannot exceed what was originally planned. 
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Original DLI Quantity: Verify the original quantity of the DLI. You can do this by navigating to the relevant production order or delivery document in SAP.
  
  
  Adjust Postpone Quantity: Ensure that the quantity you are trying to postpone is less than or equal to the original DLI quantity. If it is greater, you will need to reduce the postpone quantity to match the allowable limit.
  
  
  Review Related Documents: If you are working with multiple related documents (like sales orders, production orders, etc.), ensure that all quantities are consistent across these documents.
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders: If you are unsure about the correct quantities, consult with your production planning or logistics team to confirm the appropriate quantities for postponement.
  
  
  System Configuration: If this error occurs frequently and seems to be a systemic issue, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings in SAP related to delivery and production planning. 
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may encounter this error while using transaction codes such as CO02 (Change Production Order), VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery), or similar.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on handling production orders and delivery processes.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you have custom logic implemented in your SAP system, check if any user exits or BAdIs are affecting the postponement logic.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the PRS114 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
