• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/MD_CHECKTABLES128 - The sequence cannot contain more than one vehicle of vehicle type active ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/MD_CHECKTABLES128 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of vehicle types in a sequence within the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. Specifically, the error states that the sequence cannot contain more than one vehicle of the same vehicle type marked as "active." 
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Active Vehicles: The sequence you are trying to create or modify has more than one vehicle of the same type that is set to active. In SCM, each vehicle type should be unique within a sequence to avoid conflicts in planning and execution.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the vehicle types or the sequence setup in the system.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be inconsistencies in the data that define the vehicles and their statuses.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Sequence Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction or application where you are managing the sequence.
  Review the list of vehicles in the sequence and ensure that there is only one active vehicle for each vehicle type.
  
  
  
  Modify Vehicle Status:
  
  If you find multiple active vehicles of the same type, you will need to deactivate one of them. This can usually be done in the vehicle master data or configuration settings.
  Ensure that only one vehicle of each type is marked as active in the sequence.
  
  
  
  Review Vehicle Types:
  
  Check the configuration of vehicle types in the system. Make sure that the definitions are correct and that there are no duplicates or misconfigurations.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run any available data consistency checks or reports in the SCM module to identify and rectify any underlying data issues.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing vehicle types and sequences in your version of SAP SCM.
  
  
  
  Seek Support:
