  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatch in Validity Periods: The driver (resource) you are trying to use has a validity period that does not align with the active capacity variant.

  Check Validity Periods: Review the validity periods of both the driver and the active capacity variant. Ensure that they match and that the driver is available for the time frame you are trying to schedule.
  
  
  Update Master Data: If the driver’s validity needs to be adjusted, update the driver’s master data to ensure it is valid for the required period. Similarly, check the capacity variant settings to ensure they are correctly configured.
  
  
  Reconfigure Capacity Variant: If necessary, reconfigure the capacity variant to include the driver or adjust its settings to ensure compatibility.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the master data for both the driver and the capacity variant to identify any discrepancies that need to be resolved.
