The message typically states that the means of transport (e.g., a truck, ship, etc.) for a given resource (e.g., a transportation resource or vehicle) is unknown or not defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The means of transport may not be properly configured in the system. This could happen if the transport means has not been created or activated in the relevant customizing settings.

  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as missing entries in the relevant tables that link resources to their means of transport.
