This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Cause:

  Missing Configuration: There may be missing or incorrect configuration settings in the system that prevent the assignment from being completed.
  
  
  Status Issues: The status of either the transportation unit or the vehicle resource may not allow for the assignment. For example, if the vehicle is already assigned to another task or is in a status that does not permit new assignments.
