• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCDL/BO_ACTION086 - Open TU &1 exists for delivery &2; archiving not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCDL/BO_ACTION086 indicates that there is an open Transportation Unit (TU) associated with a delivery, which prevents the archiving of that delivery. This is a common issue in SAP systems when dealing with logistics and transportation management.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  There is an open Transportation Unit (TU) linked to the delivery document you are trying to archive.
  The system does not allow archiving of deliveries that are still associated with active TUs, as this could lead to inconsistencies in the data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Open Transportation Units:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/TU or /SCMTMS/TO to check for any open TUs related to the delivery in question.
  Identify the specific TU that is open and linked to the delivery.
  
  
  
  Close or Complete the Transportation Unit:
  
  If the TU is still in process, you may need to complete or close it. This could involve confirming the delivery, completing the transportation process, or performing any necessary actions to finalize the TU.
  If the TU is no longer needed, you may also have the option to delete it, but ensure that this action is compliant with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Archiving:
  
  Once the TU is closed or completed, you can re-attempt the archiving process for the delivery.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about how to handle TUs or the archiving process, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Logistics team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizations:
  
  If your organization has custom developments or enhancements related to transportation management, ensure that these do not interfere with the standard processes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing deliveries and transportation units, such as /SCMTMS/TU, /SCMTMS/TO, and standard delivery transaction codes.
  Archiving Process: Understand the archiving process in SAP, including the prerequisites and the impact of archiving on data integrity.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
