  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/AYS_POPUP003 typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to book capacities in transportation allocations that are already exhausted. This message is a warning or prompt that indicates that the system is questioning whether it should proceed with booking capacities despite the fact that the available transportation allocations have been fully utilized.
  Cause:
  
  
  Exhausted Transportation Allocations: The primary cause of this error is that the transportation allocation for a specific route or carrier has been fully booked or exhausted. This means that there are no available capacities left for the requested transportation.

  Review Transportation Allocations: Check the current status of the transportation allocations to see if there are any available capacities. If there are, you may need to adjust your booking request accordingly.
  
  
  Adjust Booking Request: If the allocations are indeed exhausted, consider modifying your booking request to either:
  
  Use a different allocation that has available capacity.
  Increase the capacity of the exhausted allocation if possible.

  Consult with Business Users: Engage with relevant stakeholders or business users to understand the implications of booking in exhausted allocations and whether it is acceptable in your operational context.
