  Reassign or Release the PRT: If the PRT is not needed for the operation it is currently assigned to, you can release it from that operation and then assign it to the desired operation.
  Use a Different PRT: If the PRT is essential for both operations, consider using a different PRT that is available for the operation you are trying to assign it to.
  Check Availability: Ensure that the PRT is available for the time frame required for the operation. If it is scheduled for maintenance or is otherwise unavailable, you may need to wait or find an alternative.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's internal documentation or SAP help resources for specific procedures related to PRT management.
