  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL239 Planning not possible; check selected objects typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an issue with the planning process. This error indicates that the system is unable to perform planning due to problems with the selected objects, which could include transportation lanes, shipments, or other relevant entities.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing or Incomplete Data: The selected objects may not have all the required data or configurations. For example, transportation lanes might not be defined correctly, or there may be missing master data (like locations, products, etc.).
  
  
  Incompatible Object Types: The objects selected for planning may not be compatible with each other. For instance, if you are trying to plan a shipment that does not have a valid transportation lane.
  
  
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set in the system may not allow for the selected objects to be processed. This could include settings related to capacity, time windows, or other constraints.
  
  
  Status of Objects: The status of the selected objects may prevent planning. For example, if a shipment is already in a status that does not allow for further planning actions.
  
  
  Custom Logic or Enhancements: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system, they might interfere with the standard planning process.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Object Data: Review the selected objects to ensure that all necessary data is complete and correct. This includes checking transportation lanes, shipment details, and any related master data.
  
  
  Validate Compatibility: Ensure that the objects you are trying to plan are compatible with each other. For example, check if the transportation lane is valid for the shipment.
