  Solution:
  
  Check Time Windows: Review the time windows defined for the pickup and delivery locations in the master data. Ensure that they are set correctly and that the fixed stop time falls within these windows.
  Adjust Stop Times: If the fixed stop time is incorrect, adjust it to fall within the acceptable time window. This may involve changing the scheduling of the transportation order or the delivery.
  Review Transportation Planning Settings: Check the transportation planning settings in the TMS configuration to ensure that they are set up correctly to allow for flexible scheduling within the defined time windows.
  Consult with Stakeholders: If the time windows are set based on operational constraints, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., logistics, warehouse) to understand the requirements and adjust the settings accordingly.
  Replan the Transportation Order: If necessary, replan the transportation order to accommodate the correct time windows.
