  Capacity Overload: The system may determine that the capacity requirement cannot be fulfilled due to overload or scheduling conflicts.

  Review Changes: Look at any recent changes made to production orders, planned orders, or other related data that might have triggered the deletion of the capacity requirement.
  Resource Availability: Verify the availability of the resource. If the resource is not available, consider rescheduling or adjusting the production plan.
  Mode Settings: Check the configuration of the modes for the work center. Ensure that the mode you are trying to use is correctly set up and available for the required time.
  Consult Logs: Review any logs or messages in the system that might provide additional context or details about why the capacity requirement is being deleted.
