This error indicates that the system cannot find the required quantity of a material for a specific conversion or process, such as a production order or a goods movement.
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Stock: The most common cause is that there is not enough stock of the material in the specified storage location or plant.
  Incorrect Unit of Measure: The conversion process may be trying to convert quantities between different units of measure, and the system cannot find the necessary quantity in the base unit.
