  SAP Error Message:
  W5154 - Subcontracting item & & will not be processed due to reservations
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs during the processing of a subcontracting purchase order or goods receipt when the system detects that the subcontracting item has existing reservations (stock reservations) that prevent the normal processing of the subcontracting item.
  In subcontracting scenarios, components are sent to the vendor, and the system expects to consume these components from stock. If there are reservations on the components or the subcontracting item itself, the system cannot process the subcontracting item as expected because the reserved stock is not available for consumption or movement.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Subcontracting item: The finished product or assembly that is being subcontracted.
  Reservations: Stock that has been reserved for other requirements (e.g., production orders, sales orders, or other reservations).

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Reservations:
  
  Use transaction MB25 (Reservation List) or MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to identify existing
