  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL412 indicates that there is a mismatch in the document category when trying to assign a resource to a document in the SAP Transportation Management System (SAP TM). This error typically arises when the resource you are trying to assign is not compatible with the type of document you are working with.
  Cause:
  
  Document Category Mismatch: The resource (e.g., vehicle, carrier, etc.) you are trying to assign is not compatible with the document category of the transportation document (e.g., shipment, freight order, etc.). Each resource is associated with specific document categories, and if they do not match, the assignment cannot be made.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in SAP TM that define which resources can be assigned to which document categories. If these settings are not correctly defined, it can lead to this error.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity of the resources or documents, such as missing or incorrect attributes that define their categories.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Category: Verify the document category of the transportation document you are trying to assign the resource to. Ensure that it is compatible with the resource you are trying to assign.
  Review Resource Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the resources in SAP TM. Ensure that the resource is set up to be compatible with the document category of the transportation document.
  Adjust Resource Assignment: If the resource is not compatible, consider using a different resource that matches the document category or reconfiguring the existing resource to make it compatible.
  Data Validation: Ensure that all relevant data for both the resource and the document is complete and accurate. This includes checking attributes, statuses, and any other relevant fields.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on resource assignment and document categories in SAP TM.
