• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/LOC701 - Location &1 cannot be used for TM; type &2 is reserved for other appl. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/LOC701 indicates that a specific location (denoted by &1) cannot be used for Transportation Management (TM) because its type (&2) is reserved for other applications. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) and its integration with SAP TM.
  Cause:
  
  Location Type Restriction: The location type assigned to the location in question is not compatible with TM. For example, certain location types may be designated for use only within APO or other specific applications.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the system may not allow the use of certain location types in TM.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the location may not be correctly set up, leading to restrictions on its use in TM.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Location Type: Verify the type of the location in question. You can do this by navigating to the location master data in the SAP system. Ensure that the location type is appropriate for use in TM.
  Change Location Type: If the location type is indeed reserved for another application, consider changing the location type to one that is compatible with TM. This can be done in the configuration settings of the system.
  Review Configuration Settings: Check the configuration settings for both APO and TM to ensure that the location types are correctly defined and that there are no restrictions preventing the use of the location in TM.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to location types and their compatibility with TM to understand the specific requirements and restrictions.
  Master Data Maintenance: If the location is meant to be used in TM, ensure that all relevant master data is correctly maintained and that there are no inconsistencies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/LOC to view and maintain location master data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on location types and their usage in TM.
  Integration Settings: Review the integration settings between APO and TM to ensure that they are correctly configured to allow for the use of locations across both applications.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation and resolution.
