This error typically arises when the system is unable to find the necessary cost data to perform calculations related to transportation planning or execution.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Cost Data: The most common cause is that the cost data for the transportation lanes, routes, or other relevant entities has not been maintained in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the transportation management settings that prevent the system from accessing the cost data.
  Data Inconsistency: There could be inconsistencies in the master data or transactional data that lead to the absence of cost information.
  Transport Lane Not Defined: If the transport lane or route is not defined correctly, the system may not be able to retrieve the associated costs.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Maintain Cost Data:
  
  Ensure that the cost data for transportation lanes, routes, and other relevant entities is properly maintained in the system. This can typically be done in the TMS configuration settings.

  Define Transport Lanes:
  
  If transport lanes are not defined, create them in the system. Ensure that all necessary details, including costs, are included.
