  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_RETURN005
  Text: Item quantity &1 &2 is greater than the returns order quantity &3 &4
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of a returns order in SAP (typically in the Sales and Distribution module). It indicates that the quantity you are trying to return for a particular item (&1 = item number, &2 = quantity entered) exceeds the originally ordered quantity for that item (&3 = item number, &4 = original order quantity).
  In other words, the system is preventing you from returning more items than were originally sold or ordered.
  
  Explanation:
  
  When creating or processing a returns order, SAP checks the quantity of items being returned against the quantity that was originally ordered and delivered.
  If the return quantity exceeds the original order quantity, SAP throws this error to maintain data consistency and prevent incorrect inventory or financial postings.
