• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /LTB/TR_UI038 - &1 is not a standard rule and cannot be used ?

  The SAP error message /LTB/TR_UI038 &1 is not a standard rule and cannot be used typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) or SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user attempts to use a non-standard rule in a transaction or process that requires a standard rule.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-Standard Rule: The error indicates that the rule you are trying to use is not recognized as a standard rule by the system. This could be due to:
  
  The rule being custom-developed and not properly configured.
  The rule not being activated or available in the system.
  The rule being deleted or not transported correctly from the development environment to the production environment.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings where the system expects a standard rule but finds a custom one instead.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Rule Configuration:
  
  Verify if the rule you are trying to use is indeed a standard rule. You can do this by checking the configuration settings in the relevant transaction (e.g., SPRO).
  If it is a custom rule, ensure that it is properly defined and activated in the system.
  
  
  
  Use Standard Rules:
  
  If possible, switch to a standard rule that meets your requirements. This may involve reviewing the available standard rules in the system and selecting one that fits your needs.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the rule was supposed to be transported from a development environment, check the transport logs to ensure that the transport was successful and that the rule exists in the target environment.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with (TM or EWM) to understand the requirements for rules and how to configure them correctly.
