RU038 - Details

• The SAP error message RU038, which states "Confirmed quantity greater than overdelivery tolerance," typically occurs in the context of production orders or goods movements when the quantity being confirmed exceeds the allowed overdelivery tolerance set in the system. This can happen during the confirmation of production orders, goods receipts, or other inventory-related transactions.
  
  Cause:
  
  Overdelivery Tolerance Settings: The system has a predefined overdelivery tolerance percentage or quantity for the material or order type. If the confirmed quantity exceeds this tolerance, the error is triggered.
  Incorrect Confirmation Quantity: The user may have mistakenly entered a quantity that is higher than what is allowed.
  
  Configuration Issues: The settings for overdelivery tolerance may not be configured correctly in the material master or production order settings.

  Adjust the overdelivery tolerance if necessary, but ensure that this aligns
