  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP542 indicates that a stop in the transportation management system (TMS) has an initial status of "Assignment Fixed."

  Cause:
  
  Fixed Assignment: The stop has been assigned to a specific transportation unit or route, and the assignment is fixed, preventing any changes.
  Planning Constraints: There may be planning constraints or rules that prevent modifications to the stop once it has been assigned.

  Incomplete Data: Sometimes, if the data related to the stop is incomplete or inconsistent, it may lead to this status.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Assignment: Review the assignment of the stop to see if it can be released or modified. If it is fixed, you may need to unassign it first.
  Review Planning Settings: Check the planning settings and constraints in the TMS configuration to see if there are rules that are causing the stop to be fixed.
  Unlock the Stop: If the stop is locked, you may need to unlock it through the appropriate transaction or by contacting your system administrator.
