• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/CLC031 - Forwarding Order is a Template, Check not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/CLC031 Forwarding Order is a Template, Check not possible typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you are trying to perform an action that requires a forwarding order to be in a specific state, but the system identifies that the forwarding order you are working with is a template.
  Cause:
  
  Template Status: The forwarding order you are trying to process is a template and not an actual order. Templates are used to create new forwarding orders but cannot be processed in the same way as actual orders.
  Inappropriate Action: The action you are trying to perform (like checking, saving, or executing a certain function) is not applicable to a template.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use an Actual Forwarding Order: Ensure that you are working with an actual forwarding order rather than a template. If you need to perform actions on a forwarding order, create a new order from the template or select an existing order.
  Create a New Forwarding Order: If you need to use the template, create a new forwarding order based on the template. This can usually be done through the appropriate transaction or menu option in SAP TM.
  Check the Order Type: Verify the type of order you are working with. If it is indeed a template, you will need to switch to an actual order for the required operations.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific documentation for SAP TM for more details on forwarding orders and templates.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TM that deal with forwarding orders, such as /SCMTMS/FO for managing forwarding orders.
