  The SAP error message VL632 ("Picked quantity &1 is larger than delivery quantity &2") typically occurs during the picking process in the SAP system, particularly when using the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or the Logistics Execution (LE) module. This error indicates that the quantity of items that have been picked exceeds the quantity that was originally specified in the delivery document.
  Cause:
  
  Excess Picking: The most common cause is that the user has attempted to pick more items than what is available in the delivery. This can happen due to manual entry errors or miscommunication about the available stock.
  Incorrect Delivery Quantity: The delivery document may have been incorrectly created with a lower quantity than what is actually available or intended to be picked.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not aligned with the business processes, leading to discrepancies in quantity handling.
  Stock Changes: If stock levels change after the delivery is created (e.g., due to returns or adjustments), it may lead to this error when trying to pick.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Delivery Quantity: Check the delivery document to ensure that the quantity specified is correct. If the delivery quantity is indeed lower than what was picked, you may need to adjust the delivery.
  Adjust Picked Quantity: If the picked quantity is incorrect, adjust it to match the delivery quantity. This can often be done in the picking screen or through the relevant transaction.
  Check Stock Levels: Ensure that the stock levels in the warehouse match what is expected. If there are discrepancies, investigate and correct them.
  Review Picking Process: Ensure that the picking process is being followed correctly and that users are trained to avoid picking more than the delivery quantity.
  System Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, review the system configuration related to delivery and picking processes to ensure they align with business requirements.
