What causes this issue?

If you change the vehicle in an existing scheduling plan, the system
checks if the compartments in the new vehicle are the same as those in
the old vehicle. If there are no differences between the old vehicle
and the new vehicle (number and zise of compartments), the system
copies the compartment planning from the old vehicle to the new
vehicle.
If there are differences between the old vehicle and the new vehicle,
you can carry out compartment planning manually.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
