  The SAP error message /SCMB/TMSRES044 Volume &1 differs from the Pack. Material (&2 &3) typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when there is a discrepancy between the volume of a transport unit (like a container or pallet) and the expected volume based on the packing material defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Volume Mismatch: The volume of the transport unit (e.g., a shipping container) does not match the volume defined for the packing material in the system. This can happen if the packing material's dimensions or volume have been incorrectly defined or if the actual physical dimensions of the transport unit differ from what is recorded in the system.

  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the packing process can lead to incorrect volume data being recorded.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Packing Material Data: Check the packing material configuration in the system. Ensure that the volume and dimensions are correctly defined for the packing material in question.
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., PACK or SPRO) to review and adjust the packing material settings.

  Review Packing Instructions: Ensure that the packing instructions for the shipment are correct and that they align with the items being packed. If there are discrepancies, update the packing instructions accordingly.
