This can happen when the sequence of stops defined in the schedule does not match the expected order based on the transportation network or the defined routes.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Stop Sequence: The stops in the transportation schedule are not in the correct order. For example, a stop that should logically come after another stop is listed before it.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when creating or modifying the transportation schedule can lead to inconsistencies.

  Recreate the Schedule: If the schedule is too complex or if there are too many inconsistencies, it may be easier to delete the existing schedule and create a new one from scratch.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing transportation schedules and resolving inconsistencies.
