  Insufficient Capacity: The resources (e.g., production lines, machines) may not have enough capacity to fulfill the planned orders.
  Incorrect Master Data: Issues with master data such as incorrect resource settings, production versions, or material master data can lead to this error.
  Planning Parameters: Incorrect or missing planning parameters in the heuristic settings can cause the planning run to fail.
  Locked Objects: If certain objects are locked (e.g., due to another planning run or transaction), it can prevent the heuristic from executing properly.

  Analyze Logs: Review the logs generated during the planning run for more detailed information about the error. This can provide insights into what specifically went wrong.
  Test with Different Scenarios: If possible, try running the heuristic with different scenarios or settings to isolate the issue.
