This error indicates that the system has encountered an unknown or unrecognized planning mode when trying to execute a planning run.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The planning mode specified in the planning run may not be defined in the system. This could happen if the planning mode was deleted or not properly configured.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the planning mode name when it was entered in the planning run parameters.
  Transport Issues: If the planning mode was recently transported from another system (e.g., from a development to a production environment), it may not have been included in the transport request.
