The message indicates that a specific component (identified by &1) is needed at a certain location (identified by &2) at a specific time (identified by &3), but it is only available at a different location (identified by &4).
  Cause:
  
  Stock Availability Issues: The required component is not available at the location where it is needed, which can be due to stock being at a different location or insufficient stock levels.

  Review Master Data: Ensure that the master data for the component, including the BOM and routing, is correctly set up. Check for any discrepancies in the location data.

  Check Transportation Lead Times: Review the transportation lead times and constraints to ensure that they are set correctly and that they allow for timely movement of materials.
  Run Availability Check: Perform an availability check to see if the component can be sourced from another location or if there are alternative solutions.
