  Causes:
  
  Selection Criteria Mismatch: The criteria defined for the operation (like product, quantity, or storage type) do not match any available slots in the warehouse.
  Storage Bin Configuration: The storage bins may not be configured correctly, or they may not be suitable for the type of goods being processed.
  Stock Levels: There may be insufficient stock available to fulfill the operation, leading to no available slots.
  Warehouse Management Settings: The warehouse management settings may not allow for the placement of the goods in the desired storage type or bin.
  Blocked or Full Storage Bins: The storage bins may be blocked or already full, preventing new stock from being placed there.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria used for the operation. Ensure that they are correctly defined and that they match the available storage slots.
  Check Storage Bin Configuration: Verify the configuration of the storage bins to ensure they are set up to accept the type of goods being processed.
