Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/CFIR116 - Cannot add FWO &1 manually; FWO is part of buyer's consolidation ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/CFIR116 indicates that you are trying to manually add a Freight Order (FWO) that is part of a buyer's consolidation. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there are restrictions on modifying or adding freight orders that are already included in a consolidation process.
  Cause:
  
  
  Consolidation Process: The Freight Order you are trying to add is already part of a buyer's consolidation. In SAP TM, when freight orders are consolidated, they are grouped together for transportation planning and execution. This means that individual freight orders cannot be modified or added manually without affecting the consolidation.
  
  
  System Restrictions: The system is designed to prevent changes to freight orders that are part of a consolidation to maintain data integrity and avoid conflicts in the transportation planning process.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Consolidation Status: Verify the status of the consolidation process. If the FWO is part of an active consolidation, you may need to either complete or cancel the consolidation before making changes to the FWO.
  
  
  Modify the Consolidation: If you need to add or modify the FWO, consider adjusting the consolidation itself. This may involve:
  
  Removing the FWO from the consolidation if possible.
  Adjusting the parameters of the consolidation to allow for the addition of new freight orders.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Process: Instead of trying to add the FWO manually, follow the appropriate process for adding freight orders to a consolidation. This may involve using specific transaction codes or processes within SAP TM designed for managing consolidations.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed steps on managing freight orders and consolidations. This can provide insights into best practices and system capabilities.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide guidance based on your specific system configuration and business processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP TM Documentation: Review the official SAP Transportation Management documentation for detailed information on freight order management and consolidation processes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TM that pertain to freight order and consolidation management.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify freight orders and consolidations in your SAP environment.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and manage your freight orders effectively within SAP TM.
