  Solution:
  
  Check TM Activation: Ensure that the Transportation Management module is active and properly configured in your SAP system. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or TM consultant to verify this.
  Review Configuration Settings: Check the configuration settings for delivery date determination in the SD module. Ensure that the settings align with the requirements of your business processes.
  Verify Master Data: Review the relevant master data for the sales order, including:
  
  Material master data (check for shipping and transportation data)
  Customer master data (check for shipping conditions)
  Shipping point settings
  
  
  Check for Updates: If there have been recent updates or changes to the system, ensure that they have not affected the integration between SD and TM.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the error message for any specific guidance or patches that may be applicable.
