This typically means that the system has identified a purchase order item that is not locked or confirmed for procurement, which can lead to issues in planning and execution.
  Cause:
  
  
  Unfixed Purchase Order: The purchase order item may not be fixed due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The purchase order item is still in a planning state and has not been confirmed.
  The item may have been created but not yet released for procurement.
  There may be changes in the MRP settings or parameters that affect the fixation of the purchase order.
  
  
  
  MRP Settings: The MRP settings for the material or the plant may not be configured correctly, leading to the purchase order not being recognized as fixed.
