What causes this issue?

To avoid redundancy in the creation of eDocuments, it is recommended
that you activate only one source type for inbound or outbound processes
in SD.
Examples:
For outbound documents define that the eDocument is created either out
of outbound delivery or out of the goods issue.
For inbound documents define that the eDocument is created either out of
inbound delivery or out of the goods receipt.
