This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when planning transportation and assigning resources.

  Mismatch in Transport Means: The proposed means of transport for the Freight Unit does not match the characteristics or capabilities of the assigned resource. For example, if the Freight Unit is designated for a specific type of vehicle (e.g., truck, train) and the resource assigned is of a different type, this error will occur.

  Check Freight Unit Details: Review the characteristics of the Freight Unit to ensure that the proposed means of transport aligns with the requirements.
