  Route Configuration: The routes configured in the system may not be valid for the specified dates or may not exist for the given origin and destination.
  Capacity Issues: There may be no available transportation capacity (e.g., vehicles, carriers) that can meet the required dates.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set in the system may restrict the selection of routes based on time or other criteria.
  Holidays or Non-Working Days: The dates may fall on holidays or non-working days, which could affect the availability of routes.
