  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:

  Check Item Quantities: Review the quantities of the items in the document. Ensure that the quantities you are trying to reject match the quantities recorded in the system.

  Adjust Quantities: If there are discrepancies, you may need to adjust the quantities in the document or related documents (like purchase orders or goods receipts) to ensure consistency.
  Consult with Colleagues: If you are unsure about the quantities or the status of the document, consult with colleagues or your SAP support team for assistance.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like ME22N for changing purchase orders) to make necessary adjustments.
