What causes this issue?
The quantity delivered exceeds the quantity confirmed at the reporting
points in this period.
The <DS:GLOS.work_in_process>work in process</> which the system
created for the confirmed quantity was canceled on the basis of the
quantity of goods delivered. Because the quantity of goods delivered
exceeds the confirmed quantity, the system canceled more work in
process than it originally created.
