The error message indicates that when the two endpoints (e.g., the origin and destination) are identical, you need to use square brackets to denote this in the system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system detects that the origin and destination of a transportation request are the same, but the format used does not comply with the expected syntax.

  Use Square Brackets: When entering the identical endpoints, ensure that you enclose the endpoint in square brackets. For example, if the endpoint is "Location A", you should enter it as "[Location A]" for both the origin and destination.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to process the transportation request again.
