  Check Document Locations:
  
  Review the document (e.g., transportation request) to identify the source and destination locations.

  Change the locations in the document to match the schedule.
  Modify the schedule to include the locations from the document.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If you are unsure about the location settings, consult with your SAP TM configuration team to ensure that the planning settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the master data (like location master data, transportation lanes, etc.) is correctly maintained and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
