What causes this issue?

Short Text: Latest merchandise supply to a store after how many days?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Performance problems can occur in POS outbound because selecting the
change pointers takes longer and longer every day.
This is usually due to the fact that the last correct formatting of one
or several stores (outbound processing status in the POS monitor:
"processed") is already too far behind. This prevents the change
pointers from being reorganized.
There are generally two causes for this problem:
Formatting errors often occur in one or several stores. These cause the
POS outbound processing to keep reanalyzing the change pointers from
the last formatting.
A store is no longer to receive deliveries (due to closure for
example), however it has not yet been removed from POS outbound
processing.

System Response

The system indicates when the last correct formatting of a store took
place. This helps you determine more easily which stores have not had a
correct formatting for a long time.
The color assignment of the output list depends on the input value. The
following color values are possible:
Bright green:
The number of days since the last correct formatting is less than the
value entered.
Green:
The number of days is equal to the value entered.
Pink:
The number of days is higher than the value entered (critical).
Bright red:
The number of days is more than double the value entered (extremely
critical).

How to fix this error?

If formatting errors occur, refer to the error protocol in the POS
monitor and then correct the error.
If a store is no longer to be supplied, remove it from POS outbound
processing. Also delete the POS outbound profile of this store in the
POS view of the user master maintenance (Transaction WB02).
