  Cause:
  The error indicates that the current life cycle status of the transportation request (or the object you are trying to submit) does not allow for the 'Submit' action. Each object in SAP TM has a defined life cycle with specific statuses, and certain actions can only be performed when the object is in an appropriate status.

  Check the Current Status: Identify the current life cycle status of the transportation request or object. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or using the appropriate report in SAP TM.
  
  
  Understand Valid Statuses: Review the documentation or configuration settings to understand which statuses allow the 'Submit' action. This information can often be found in the SAP TM configuration or by consulting with your SAP TM administrator.
  
  
  Change the Status: If the current status is not appropriate for submission, you may need to change the status of the transportation request. This could involve:
  
  Reverting to a previous status if possible.
  Completing any necessary steps or actions that are required to move the status to one that allows submission.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team: If you are unsure about how to change the status or what the valid statuses are, consult with your SAP TM team or administrator. They can provide guidance based on your organization's specific configuration and processes.
  
  
  Review Customizations: If your organization has customized the TM processes, ensure that any custom logic or workflows are not affecting the status transitions.
