What causes this issue?

You have maintained the delivery phases of the allocation table item for
material &V1&, which is a logistical material of category &V4& and is to
be delivered to various stores.
Material &V1& is either not listed (sales material) or the source list
for this material does not include a valid entry for some of the plants
(procurement material) on some of the delivery dates.

System Response

The system has checked whether the material can be delivered to the
various stores on the delivery dates specified in the allocation table.
If the material cannot be delivered to a store on a specific date, the
delivery date for this store is removed, and the quantity of this
delivery is added to the next possible delivery date.
If the material is a procurement material (category P), the system has
checked the source list for the material and removed any dates on which
delivery of the material is not possible. A valid source list entry (DC
? Store assignment) could not be found for some of the delivery dates
specified as delivery phases.
If the material is a sales material (category S), the system has checked
the listing conditions for the material and has found that the
distribution center is not listed for these delivery phases. Any
delivery dates to a store for which the material is not listed are
removed.

<LS>Plants</> --> <LS>Plants in item</>).
