This message indicates that the system has recalculated the quantities for sub-items based on the changes made to the main item or due to other related transactions.

    Causes:

    1. Changes in Main Item Quantity: If the quantity of the main item is changed, the system may need to recalculate the quantities of the sub-items accordingly.
