  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL390 Assignment not possible; cannot change src. location of succeeding stage typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an issue with the assignment of source locations in a transportation planning scenario. This error indicates that the system is unable to change the source location of a succeeding stage in a transportation process due to certain constraints or dependencies.
  Cause:
  
  Dependency on Previous Stages: The succeeding stage may have a dependency on the source location of the previous stage. If the source location of the previous stage is fixed or has been assigned, changing it may not be allowed.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the transportation order or the planning scenario that prevent changes from being made.

  Review Data Consistency: Check for any inconsistencies in the data related to the transportation order. This may include verifying the source and destination locations, stages, and any other relevant parameters.
  Unlock Objects: If the objects are locked, coordinate with other users or processes to unlock them before attempting to make changes.
  Consult Configuration: Review the configuration settings in SAP TM to ensure that they allow for the desired changes. If necessary, consult with a functional consultant or system administrator to adjust the settings.
