What causes this issue?

You want to assign a new material group to a material. This is only
possible if the material with inventory management is not changed by
this new assignment.
In plant &V4&, however, material &V1& is inventoried on a value-only
material in material group &V2&. The new material group &V3& is no
longer assigned to the plant, which causes the material with inventory
management to be changed in plant &V4&.
