• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DDD_STRAT001 - Straight line distance interval must start with 0 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DDD_STRAT001 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of straight-line distance intervals in the SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. Specifically, the error states that the straight-line distance interval must start with 0. This typically occurs when defining distance intervals for transportation planning or logistics processes.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the configuration of distance intervals in the system. In the context of transportation planning, straight-line distance intervals are used to categorize distances for various purposes, such as cost calculation or route optimization. If the first interval does not start at 0, the system cannot properly interpret the intervals, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the first straight-line distance interval is defined correctly in the configuration. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration path for distance intervals. This is usually found under the SCM or Logistics settings.
  
  
  
  Check Distance Intervals:
  
  Look for the section where straight-line distance intervals are defined (e.g., under Transportation Management or similar).
  Review the existing intervals and ensure that the first interval starts at 0.
  
  
  
  Modify the Intervals:
  
  If the first interval does not start at 0, you will need to either modify the existing interval or create a new one that starts at 0.
  Ensure that the intervals are defined correctly, with appropriate upper limits for each interval.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes in the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After saving, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs. This may involve running a transportation planning scenario or similar process that utilizes the distance intervals.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on configuring distance intervals in SCM.
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use specific transaction codes (like SPRO) to access the configuration settings.
  Support: If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in SCM.
  
  By ensuring that the straight-line distance intervals are correctly configured, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with your logistics or transportation planning tasks.
