Specifically, the message states that the shipment duration for the specified transportation lane has been rounded to 0, which can lead to problems in planning and scheduling.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The transportation lane may not be configured correctly, leading to a shipment duration that is either missing or set to an invalid value.
  Data Issues: There may be missing or incorrect data in the master data related to the transportation lane, such as the distance, speed, or other parameters that are used to calculate the shipment duration.
  Zero Duration: If the calculated shipment duration is less than a certain threshold (e.g., less than 0.5 hours), it may be rounded down to 0, which is not a valid duration for planning purposes.

  Adjust Shipment Duration:
  
  If the shipment duration is calculated based on distance and speed, ensure that these values are realistic and correctly set.
  If necessary, adjust the parameters to ensure that the calculated shipment duration is greater than 0.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run a test planning run to see if the error persists.
