  The SAP error message /SPE/CONS_MVC023 indicates a discrepancy between the number of serial numbers selected and the partial quantity specified in a transaction. This error typically occurs in the context of handling materials that are serialized, such as in inventory management or sales order processing.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Verify Serial Numbers: Check the serial numbers you have selected to ensure they correspond to the correct quantity of items. Make sure there are no duplicates or invalid entries.
  Adjust Quantity: If you are processing a partial quantity, ensure that the number of serial numbers matches the partial quantity you are trying to confirm or deliver.
  Re-enter Serial Numbers: If there is a mistake, re-enter the serial numbers to ensure they match the quantity being processed.
  Check Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up for serial number management, including the configuration for the relevant movement types.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling serial numbers in your version of SAP.
