The carcass must be reachable on foot and close to the butcher's shop (within 30 tiles or so). If the corpse is too far away, it must first be brought to a refuse stockpile by a refuse hauler. For effective butchering, butcher's shop and refuse stockpile should be adjacent to each other.

In the default set-up, dwarfs will not collect refuse from aboveground locations, so you'll probably need to set that option via 'o-r-o' (orders - refuse - outside).
