This error typically occurs in the context of transportation management within SAP, particularly when dealing with logistics and shipment planning.
  Cause:

  Check Transport Order: Review the transport order to ensure that it is correctly configured and that any changes to the flight schedule are reflected in the order.
  Recreate Container Unit: If necessary, you may need to delete the existing container unit and recreate it with the correct flight code.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for handling transportation management errors for additional context and procedures.
