What causes this issue?

The resource you requested is not available in the required quantity for
sender &v1&, document date &V3&.
This can occur if the resource shows inventory for the sender, but it is
not available due to the removal sequence.
This can also occur if the master data of the sender &v1& has been
changed by entering a new external goods recipient or customer. In such
a case, the system cannot find stock, because a location always has a
combination of sender (or recipient), customer, and external recipient.
