  Solution:
  
  Review Quantities: Check the quantities of both the main item and its sub-items to ensure they are correctly entered and reflect the intended values.
  Update BOM: If the issue is related to a BOM, ensure that the BOM is updated correctly to reflect any changes in the components or their quantities.

  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your configuration and version of SAP.
