What causes this issue?

You are informed of how many order list items were selected and how many
were grouped.
The reported number may differ from the number of order list items you
selected yourself.
The system regards a generic material and all its related variants as
an inseparable package. If you only select a part of the package, the
system automatically adds the remaining items. As a result, the number
of selected items may be greater than the number of items you selected
yourself.
Items that do not match the configured grouping criteria are removed
during grouping and are not included in document creation. The reasons
for the removal of items are recorded in the application log.
