What causes this issue?

The total of the scheduled quantities of those line items which are
referencing the same document item is exceeding that document item
quantity.
The check is done on all nomination items referencing the same document
item, and sums up the scheduled quantities, including those which are
changed on the current nomination screen. If a nomination item has
status 5 (Complete) the system takes into account the actualized
quantity instead of the scheduled quantity. This sum then is compared
to the document item quantity. If that is exceeded a warning is shown.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
