This message indicates that the departure from a checkpoint has been initiated, but there may be issues preventing it from completing successfully.
  Cause:

  Incomplete Data: Required data for the departure process may be missing or incomplete, such as handling unit information or shipment details.
  System Lock: There may be a lock on the shipment or handling unit that prevents the departure from being processed.
