This error can occur in various scenarios, such as during the planning process, when trying to create or modify a production order, or when executing a heuristic.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Resources: The system may not have enough resources (e.g., machines, labor, or materials) available to fulfill the demand or execute the planned orders.
  Resource Allocation Issues: Resources may be allocated to other processes or orders, leading to conflicts or shortages.
