  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI to check the bin definitions and their settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Bin or Blocked Area:

  Alternatively, if the blocked area is not needed, consider removing or resizing it.
  
  
  
  Review Stock Movements:
  
  Check if there are any stock movements that are trying to place items into the flexible bin that is causing the overlap. Adjust the stock movement accordingly.
