  Solution:
  
  Check Resource Status: Verify the current status of the resource. Ensure that it is not actively engaged in another work order. You can do this by checking the resource's assignments in the system.
  Release the Resource: If the resource is indeed busy, you may need to wait until it completes its current work order or manually release it if appropriate.
  Reassign the Resource: Once the resource is free, you can attempt to assign it to the new work order again.
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, review the configuration settings related to resource management in SAP EWM to ensure they align with your operational needs.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for specific guidelines on managing resources and work orders in EWM.
