  Multiple Change States: The planning object (like a production order or a planned order) has multiple change states, which means there are conflicting or overlapping changes that need to be resolved.
  Insufficient Simulation Criteria: The criteria defined for the simulation do not provide enough information for the system to determine which change state to consider.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or transaction data that lead to multiple change states being recognized.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the planning settings or simulation
