This error typically arises in the context of production planning and execution, particularly when dealing with production resources and tools (PRT) in SAP.
  Cause:

  Resource Availability: The specified production resource/tool may not be available for the alternative sequence you are trying to assign.

  Check Resource Availability: Ensure that the production resource/tool you are trying to assign is available and not already in use or locked by another process.
  Review Production Order Status: Verify the status of the production order. If it is already released or confirmed, you may need to revert it to a status that allows changes.
  Examine Routing and Configuration: Check the routing for the production order to ensure that the alternative sequence is correctly defined and that there are no constraints preventing the change.
  Update Master Data: Ensure that the alternative sequence and the production resource/tool are correctly defined in the master data. If necessary, update the master data to include the required configurations.
