  Re-schedule the Order: If the order has been created but not scheduled, you can manually schedule it using transaction codes like CO02 or through the planning board.
  Check Capacity Planning: Review the capacity planning for the work center to ensure that there are no constraints preventing scheduling.
  Adjust Dates: Ensure that the dates for the operations are set correctly and are within the planning horizon.
