This error typically arises when the system is unable to map or assign a specific freight unit to a transportation unit due to various reasons.
  Cause:
  
  Freight Unit Status: The freight unit may be in a status that does not allow it to be assigned to a transportation unit (e.g., it might be already assigned to another transportation unit or in a status that prevents assignment).
  Transportation Unit Status: The transportation unit may also be in a status that does not allow it to accept new freight units (e.g., it might be closed or completed).

  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data related to the freight unit or transportation unit, such as missing or incorrect information.

  Data Validation: Validate the data associated with both the freight unit and transportation unit. Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly and that there are no inconsistencies.
  Business Rules: Review any business rules that may be in place that could affect the assignment process. Adjust them if necessary.
