  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the system attempts to process a batch that is marked as restricted. Restricted stock is inventory that cannot be used for certain operations due to various reasons, such as quality issues, pending inspections, or other restrictions defined in the system.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Quality Inspection: The batch may be under quality inspection and cannot be used until the inspection is completed.
  Stock Type: The batch is classified as restricted stock in the system, which prevents it from being processed in certain operations.

  Ensure that the stock type of the batch is appropriate for the operation you are trying to perform. If it is restricted, consider moving it to unrestricted stock if applicable.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the process type in question. Ensure that the settings allow for the use of restricted stock if that is desired.
