• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/COMMON068 - Can't cancel any document; threshold not reached or documents are planned ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/COMMON068 indicates that a user is attempting to cancel a document in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS), but the system has determined that the cancellation cannot proceed. This is typically due to one of two reasons:
  
  
  Threshold Not Reached: The system has a defined threshold for the cancellation of documents, which means that certain conditions must be met before a document can be canceled. If these conditions are not met, the cancellation will not be allowed.
  
  
  Documents Are Planned: If there are subsequent documents or processes that depend on the document you are trying to cancel, the system will prevent the cancellation to maintain data integrity and ensure that all related processes are completed.
  
  
  Causes
  
  Threshold Settings: The threshold for cancellation may not have been reached. This could be due to time limits, status of the document, or other business rules defined in the system.
  Dependent Documents: There may be other documents (like shipments, deliveries, etc.) that are linked to the document you are trying to cancel, which prevents the cancellation.
  Planning Status: The document may be in a planning status that does not allow for cancellation.
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Check Document Status: Review the status of the document you are trying to cancel. Ensure that it is in a state that allows for cancellation.
  
  
  Review Related Documents: Check for any dependent documents that may be preventing the cancellation. You may need to cancel or complete those documents first.
  
  
  Adjust Threshold Settings: If you have the necessary permissions, review the configuration settings for cancellation thresholds in the TMS. You may need to adjust these settings to allow for cancellations under certain conditions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the cancellation process and any related configuration settings.
  
  
  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.
