Symptom
You have defined the material flow rule for a Warehouse Location (Logistics Area) with the Source Determination based on the type Minimum Movements. You created a Sales Order and tried to post Goods Issue against this Demand. However, when you click the Post Goods Issue button, the system shows several warning messages and it does not propose a Source Logistics Area even though you have enough quantity of the Material in several Logistics Areas.
Environment

Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the Outbound Logistics work center.
