  The SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER305 indicates that there is an underdelivery issue related to a confirmation in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. This message typically arises when the quantity of goods confirmed for delivery is less than the expected quantity, and the underdelivery exceeds the defined tolerance level.
