  Batch Status: The batch may be in a status that does not allow it to be used (e.g., blocked, expired, or not released).
  
  
  Quantity Mismatch: The proposed quantity for the batch may not match the required quantity for the transaction, leading to discrepancies.
  
  
  Batch Determination Settings: The configuration for batch determination may not be set up correctly, leading to issues in how batches are proposed.
  
  
  Stock Type: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked) may not allow the batch to be used for the intended purpose.

  Check Batch Availability: Verify that the required batch exists and has sufficient stock available. You can do this by checking the batch in the inventory management or batch management screens.
