There is no custodian stock for the product in stock overview. When performing a spare part return the system will check for an existing stock mapped against the custodian. Custodian is your customer who is returning the spare part. If there is no stock at custodian site the system will not be able to take the stock back from custodian. The reason why stock is not available against the custodian is because of either of the below mentioned reasons

1. You have consumed the stock at custodian site.
2. You have not sent the stock to custodian in the first place.

Make sure that there is stock available against the custodian from whom you are receiving the spare parts. This data will be visible in Stock Overview. The column Custodian ID will be the same as the ID of the Sender in the Inbound Delivery Notification when the stock is viewed from the Stock Overview screen.
