• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG026 - No special party role maintained; access with default party role &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG026 indicates that there is no special party role maintained for a specific business partner in the Transportation Management (TM) module. Instead, the system is attempting to access the business partner using a default party role, which may not be appropriate for the transaction you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The specific business partner does not have a defined role that is required for the transaction.
  Default Role Usage: The system is falling back to a default role, which may not have the necessary authorizations or data associated with it.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data setup for the business partner.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Business Partner Roles:
  
  Go to the transaction code BP (Business Partner) in SAP.
  Search for the relevant business partner.
  Check the roles assigned to the business partner and ensure that the necessary roles for the transaction are maintained.
  If the required role is missing, add it and ensure that all necessary data is filled in.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the configuration for party roles in the Transportation Management system is correctly set up.

  Review Default Role Settings:
  
  If the default role is being used, check if it has the necessary authorizations and data to perform the required actions.
  If not, consider creating a specific role for the business partner that meets the requirements of your business processes.
