Possible reasons for Error during Pick Release are as follows:
No default staging sub-inventory for the item
Navigate to Shipping àSetup àShipping parameters
Go to the Pick Release tab. Select a default Stage Subinventory in the field Staging. The default staging Subinventory must not be the same as the Subinventory from which the items will be picked.
If locator controlled items are being shipped, the Staging Subinventory must be defined as having locator control.
No Sub-inventory defined while picking the order
Specify a Subinventory in the "Pick From" region of the Release Orders for Picking form, inventory tab.
If this is done, pick release will always pick from that Subinventory. However, if the specified Subinventory does not have sufficient quantity, pick release will not consider any other Subinventory for picking.
No open period exists for pick release
Open the inventory accounting period for the period in which the order is scheduled to ship.
1) Navigate to Inventory àAccounting Close Cycle àInventory Accounting Periods
2) Select the period to be opened. Its current status should be Future
3) Click on the change status button.
4) A small dialog box asks if you want to open this period. Click on Yes.

2) Go to the Line Items/Shipping tab.
3) For each order line, change the requested date to a date which is in an open inventory period.
4) If the scheduled ship date does not automatically change to a date within the open period, then also change the scheduled ship date.
(Or)
Transact the move order in the open period.
1) Navigate to Order Management Super User à Pick Release form.
2) Pick Release the order. Specify Auto Allocate as NO, so that move orders will not be automatically transacted.
3) Switch to the Inventory user
4) Navigate to Move Orders àTransact Move Orders, and find the Move order for this order.
5) Allocate the move order
6) Click on the View/Update allocations button

If the order was initially scheduled to ship during a period which is now closed, only the last two options are available. Once a period has been closed, it cannot be re-opened.
Partial shipment did not occur because order lines are in ship set
When a single order line is on a ship set and enforce ship sets are specified, the entire quantity must be shipped. System will not split this order line, and will not create a backorder for the amount of the shortage.
If one line on the ship set has insufficient quantity, none of the other lines will be pick released. In this case, the pick release log file and/or shipping exceptions report will show error message "Item 1 is on a ship set, and item 2 on the same ship set has insufficient quantity"
Remove the line with insufficient quantity from the ship set
1) Navigate to Order Management Super User à Sales Orders form.
2) Find the order you are attempting to pick release

This issue is resolved by checking the check box "Include Assigned Lines" on the Shipping tab of the Pick Release form
Other Reasons:
· Ensure that the Sales Order Key Flexfield segments are mapped to Order Number, Order Type and Order Source.
· Also ensure that the profile option OM: Source Code is set to 'ORDER ENTRY'.
· When attempting to pick release orders with future scheduled ship dates, ensure that the "TO" schedule ship date in the pick release form is either null, or contains a date future to the scheduled ship dates on the orders to be picked.
