Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:

  Update Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the master data for both the delivery and the TU is correctly maintained. This includes checking the transportation lanes, shipping points, and any other relevant master data.
  If necessary, update the master data to ensure consistency.
  
  
  
  Recreate the TU:
  
  If the issue persists, consider recreating the Transportation Unit after ensuring that the delivery and route assignments are correct.
