  Cause:
  
  Serialized Material Configuration: The material in question is defined as a serialized material in the system, which means that each unit of this material is tracked individually by its serial number.
  Planning Settings: The planning settings for the material may not be configured to handle serial number management properly. This could be due to incorrect settings in the material master or planning parameters.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the material master record, particularly in the serial number management settings.

  Check Serial Number Profiles:
