What causes this issue?

You are running an initial print of an invoice (that means: it is not a
repeat print of an already printed invoice).
Item &V1& of document &V2& for fiscal year &V3& is already blocked by
user &V4& (table of open items or document segment table).

System Response

Only non-blocked document items are selected.
This open item is blocked and therefore does not appear in the invoice.

How to fix this error?

In order to create invoices for the open items currently blocked, carry
out another program run for the invoice print after this run using the
same selections.
Please make sure that you do not set the "repeat run" key. For a repeat
run the open items already printed in the invoice are printed again.
However you wish to invoice those open items that have not yet been
printed.
