  Cause

  Order Parameters: The order itself may have parameters that are not compatible with the scheduling process, such as incorrect dates, quantities, or other attributes.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: Problems with master data, such as material master records, routing, or work center data, can also lead to scheduling failures.
  
  
  Capacity Constraints: If the capacity of the work centers is exceeded or if there are conflicting orders, scheduling may fail.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the PAL_CHECK003 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
