  Stock Availability: If there is insufficient stock available for the items in the delivery, the system may prevent the creation of a picking request.
  
  
  Warehouse Management Settings: If you are using Warehouse Management (WM), there may be specific settings or configurations that are preventing the picking request from being processed.
