  Incorrect Master Data: Issues with master data, such as incorrect BOM (Bill of Materials) or routing definitions, can lead to discrepancies.
  Changes in Orders: If there have been changes to production orders or planned orders after they were created, it may lead to inconsistencies in the quantities.
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, discrepancies can arise from batch-specific data not being synchronized correctly.

  Solution:
  
  Check BOM and Routing: Verify that the Bill of Materials and routing for the affected production order or planned order are correctly defined and that the quantities match.
