  Stock Levels: The item may not have sufficient stock available to fulfill the order or delivery request. This can happen if the stock is allocated to other orders or if there is no stock available at all.
  
  
  Delivery Date: The requested delivery date may be in the past or not feasible based on the current stock and lead times.
  
  
  Material Status: The material may have a status that prevents it from being sold or delivered, such as being blocked for sales.
