If this message is configured as an error message, you have to ensure
that sales order stock no longer exists by delivering to the customer or
by transferring the stock. It may still be the case that a rejection is
not possible as checks may still be taking place for a supplier invoice
quantity that exceeds the goods receipt quantity, or the general
settings specify that a rejection is not possible for an only partially
fulfilled individual procurement.
