This can lead to issues in planning and scheduling, as the system expects both entities to operate within the same time zone for accurate calculations.
  Cause:

  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that all relevant master data (like location master data and transport master data) is consistent and correctly configured.
  Check for any recent changes that might have affected the time zone settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the planning process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
