  Missing or Inactive ATP Functionality: The ATP functionality may not be activated in the target system, or the necessary settings may not be in place.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access ATP data in the target system.
  Network or Connectivity Issues: There may be network problems preventing the CRM system from communicating with the target system.

  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the target system is correctly configured to provide ATP information. This includes checking the settings in the SAP CRM system and the target system.
  Verify that the RFC (Remote Function Call) connection between the systems is correctly set up and functioning.
  
  
  
  Verify System Versions:
