  Check Previous Entries: Review any previous partial quantity entries for the same handling unit or item. Ensure that the sum of all partial quantities does not exceed the packed quantity.
  Adjust Quantity: If the quantity you are trying to enter is indeed too high, adjust it to a valid number that does not exceed the available packed quantity.
  Review Handling Units: If you are working with handling units, ensure that the handling unit is correctly packed and that the quantities match what is expected.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling RF transactions to ensure compliance with procedures.
