  Cause:
  
  Missing Carrier Definition: The carrier has not been defined in the system for the specific transportation scenario.

  Solution:
  
  
  Define Carrier:

  Check Transportation Lane:
  
  Ensure that the transportation lane between the shipping point and the destination is correctly defined and that it includes the carrier.
