Cause

The stock you are moving is externally-owned stock, hence it is not involved into product planning (in Stock Overview, this stock has planning area ID as blank). However, during goods movement, system is searching on the base of planning area ID and logistics area ID. Since this stock has no planning area, system gives information message as Logistics area not found. However, the goods movement will succeed still.
