• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O9513 - No shipment costing possible when no carrier has been maintained ?

  The SAP error message O9513, "No shipment costing possible when no carrier has been maintained," typically occurs in the context of shipment costing in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system cannot perform shipment costing because a carrier has not been assigned to the shipment.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the shipment document does not have a carrier assigned to it. In SAP, shipment costing requires a carrier to determine the costs associated with transporting goods. If no carrier is specified, the system cannot calculate the shipment costs, leading to this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that a carrier is assigned to the shipment. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Shipment Document:
  
  Go to the shipment document that is causing the error. You can do this through the SAP Easy Access screen or by using transaction codes like VT03N (Display Shipment) or VT02N (Change Shipment).
  
  
  
  Assign a Carrier:
  
  In the shipment document, navigate to the section where you can maintain the carrier information. This is usually found in the "Shipment" or "Carrier" tab.
  Enter the appropriate carrier information. You may need to select a carrier from a list of available carriers in your system.
  
  
  
  Save the Changes:
  
  After entering the carrier information, save the changes to the shipment document.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Shipment Costing:
  
  Once the carrier has been assigned, try to perform the shipment costing again. The error should no longer appear if the carrier is correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
