  Solution:
  
  
  Check ATP Profile Assignment:

  Ensure that the ATP profile is correctly assigned to the sales order type you are working with.

  Review Material Master Data:

  Test ATP Check:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test ATP check to ensure that the system can now process the order without errors.
