  Check Position Status: Verify the status of the position in question. If it is occupied, you may need to either wait for it to become vacant or select a different position for the planning run.
  Review Employee Assignment: Check if there is an employee assigned to the position. If the employee is no longer in that position, you may need to update the employee's assignment or the position's status.
