This error indicates that the system is trying to schedule documents that are not valid for scheduling in the context of the current operation. Specifically, it mentions that only Freight Orders (FOs) and Transportation Units (TUs) can be scheduled.
  Cause:
  
  
  Document Type: The error arises when the system encounters documents that are not of the type Freight Order or Transportation Unit. This could be due to:
  
  Attempting to schedule a document type that is not supported (e.g., a Sales Order or Purchase Order).
  The document may not have been properly converted into a Freight Order or Transportation Unit.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP TM that restrict the types of documents that can be scheduled.
  
  
  Incomplete Data: The documents may lack necessary data or may not be in a status that allows them to be scheduled.

  Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings in SAP TM to ensure that the system is set up to allow the scheduling of the intended document types. This may involve reviewing the settings in the Transportation Management configuration.
  
  
  Error Logs: Review any error logs or messages in the system for additional context or related issues that may provide more insight into why the documents are being excluded.
