  Common causes include:  
  
  Changes in stock or planned receipts after the initial availability check.  
  Incomplete or outdated availability check results due to system timing or user navigation.  
  Configuration settings that require detailed availability confirmation before proceeding.  
  User trying to proceed without reviewing the detailed availability information.

  Navigate to the item detail screen in the sales order or delivery document.
