  The SAP error message SE348 ("Line with open quantity only allowed in operation, requisition, or RFQ") typically occurs in the context of procurement or inventory management when there is an attempt to process a line item that has an open quantity in a context where it is not allowed. This error is often encountered in transactions related to purchase orders, sales orders, or inventory movements.
  Cause:
  The error is usually triggered by one of the following scenarios:
  
  Open Quantity: The line item has an open quantity that is not fully delivered or received, and the system does not allow further processing of that line in the current context.
  Incorrect Document Type: The document type being used does not support open quantities for the operation being performed (e.g., trying to process a purchase order line in a way that is only valid for requisitions or RFQs).
  Status of the Document: The document may be in a status that does not permit further processing of open quantities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SE348 error, consider the following steps:
