What causes this issue?

You save changed components in two steps for the following reasons:
When a new reservation is to be generated
When an existing reservation is to be changed or deleted
After the first save the reservation is updated with the changed data
(or the reservation is created or deleted). As a result the status of
the relevant component is redetermined.
If the status of the relevant component is correct, you can continue the
install, remove, exchange, or consume process. The second save then
posts the changes to the components accordingly.
