This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when users attempt to perform interactive planning without specifying a planning strategy.

  Ensure that the strategy includes all necessary parameters and settings that are relevant to your planning requirements.
  
  
  
  Assign the Planning Strategy:
  
  After defining the planning strategy, ensure that it is assigned to the relevant planning area or planning profile that you are using for interactive planning.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
