  Solutions:
  
  
  Check TMS Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction STMS and check the TMS configuration for the system. Ensure that the system is correctly defined in the transport domain.
  Verify that the transport routes are correctly set up and that the system is assigned to the correct transport group.
