  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PPW882 Material &1 (&2): Result planned qty < 0; planned quantity was set to 0
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This message occurs during planning or production order processing when the system calculates a negative planned quantity for a material. Since planned quantities cannot be negative, the system automatically resets the planned quantity to zero and issues this warning.
  Why does this happen?  
  
  The system tries to adjust the planned quantity based on demand, stock, or other planning parameters.
  If the calculation results in a negative number (e.g., due to overconsumption, incorrect stock levels, or incorrect demand inputs), the system cannot plan a negative quantity.
  This situation often arises in Material Requirements Planning (MRP) or Production Planning (PP) scenarios when the net requirements calculation results in a negative value.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Incorrect stock or inventory data: The system might have incorrect or outdated stock levels.
  Demand or supply
