  Incorrect Location Code: The location code used in the transportation order might be incorrect or misspelled.
  
  
  Data Synchronization Issues: If the system is integrated with other systems (like SAP ERP), there may be synchronization issues where the location data has not been updated or transferred correctly.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the location data.
  
  
  Inactive Location: The location might exist but could be marked as inactive in the system.

  Data Synchronization:
