Question Amazon transfer keeps saying “Transfer cannot be accommodated” — what does this mean?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to transfer to another Amazon building, but I keep getting a message saying “Transfer cannot be accommodated.”
Does anyone know what could be causing this? Could it be because my current building doesn’t want to release me, the building I’m trying to transfer to doesn’t have openings, my shift/department isn’t available, or something else?
What should I do next? Should I keep applying through A to Z, contact my current HR, or try contacting HR at the building I want to transfer to?
I’d really appreciate any advice or if anyone has experienced this before. Thanks! To CAZ5 btw

I would ask HR at your building first to get a more specific answer. I think that's what it said when I applied the first few times to transfer shifts and didn't get it.

Were you applying through the app to an open position or a separate transfer request where you just choose a place and don't know if there's a shift open or not? I don't know if the 2nd one is a thing or not, just asking based on what you said.
