  The SAP error message /SCMB/TMSRES_BP004 Resource validity ends in the past typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when there is an issue with the validity period of a resource (such as a transportation resource or a production resource) that is being used in a planning or scheduling process. This error indicates that the validity period of the resource has expired, meaning that the system is trying to use a resource that is no longer valid for the specified time frame.
  Cause:
  
  Expired Validity Period: The resource in question has a defined validity period that has already ended. This could be due to the resource being set up with a specific start and end date, and the current date is beyond the end date.

  If the resource is still needed, update the end date to a future date to ensure it is valid for the required planning period.
  If the resource is no longer needed, consider deactivating it or removing it from the planning process.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Parameters:
  
  Ensure that the planning parameters and settings are correctly configured to use the appropriate resources.
