Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:

  Solutions:
  
  Check Kit Configuration: Verify the configuration of the kits in the system. Ensure that the number of components defined for each kit matches the actual components available in the handling unit.
  Review Handling Unit Contents: Inspect the contents of the handling unit to ensure that it contains the correct number of components. If there are excess kits, you may need to remove them or adjust the packing.
  Adjust Packing Process: If the packing process is automated, review the logic to ensure it correctly accounts for the number of kits and components. You may need to adjust the packing rules or logic.
  Inventory Reconciliation: Conduct an inventory check to ensure that the stock levels are accurate. If discrepancies are found, perform necessary adjustments in the inventory.
