This typically occurs in the context of transportation management within SAP, where the system is trying to schedule a pickup or delivery but finds that the requested times fall outside the allowed planning window.
  Cause:
  
  Planning Horizon Configuration: The planning horizon for transportation planning may be set too short, meaning that the system does not allow scheduling of pickups or deliveries beyond a certain time frame.
  Incorrect Time Settings: The times specified for pickup or delivery may not align with the operational hours or constraints set in the system.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data related to the transportation lanes, such as incorrect lead times or time windows.
  Transportation Request Timing: The timing of the transportation request may be too close to the current time, making it impossible to schedule within the defined planning horizon.
  
  Solution:
