• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ECRS/BL_TD106 - Do not enter Incoterms for triangular transactions ?

  The SAP error message /ECRS/BL_TD106 Do not enter Incoterms for triangular transactions typically occurs in the context of triangular trade scenarios, where goods are sold from a supplier to a customer via an intermediary. In such cases, the use of Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) is not applicable, as they are meant to define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in a transaction.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a user attempts to enter Incoterms in a transaction that is classified as a triangular transaction. In triangular transactions, the responsibility for shipping and delivery is typically handled differently, and the system does not allow the entry of Incoterms to avoid confusion regarding the responsibilities of the parties involved.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Remove Incoterms: If you are working with a triangular transaction, ensure that you do not enter any Incoterms in the relevant fields. This will allow the transaction to proceed without triggering the error.
  
  
  Check Transaction Type: Verify that the transaction is indeed a triangular transaction. If it is not, you may need to adjust the transaction type or configuration to allow for the entry of Incoterms.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or configuration settings related to triangular transactions to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  User Training: Ensure that users involved in processing these transactions are trained on the specific requirements and restrictions related to triangular transactions, including the handling of Incoterms.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Triangular Trade: This involves three parties: the supplier, the intermediary (or trader), and the customer. The intermediary purchases goods from the supplier and sells them to the customer, often in different countries.
  Incoterms: These are standardized international trade terms that define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers. They are crucial in international trade but may not apply in all transaction types, especially in triangular scenarios.
  SAP Configuration: Depending on your SAP version and configuration, there may be specific settings that govern how triangular transactions are processed. Consult with your SAP functional consultant or refer to the configuration guides for your specific SAP module (e.g., SD, MM).
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the relevant module.
