• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG187 - Cannot create fwd. agrmnt; choose srvc. products from just one catalog ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG187 indicates that there is an issue with creating a forwarding agreement in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module. Specifically, the error states that you cannot create a forwarding agreement because the service products selected come from multiple catalogs. 
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that when creating a forwarding agreement, all service products must originate from the same service catalog.

  Select Products from One Catalog: Modify your selection to include only those service products that come from a single catalog. You may need to remove products from other catalogs.
  
  
  Create Separate Agreements: If you need to use service products from different catalogs, consider creating separate forwarding agreements for each catalog.
  
  
  Check Catalog Configuration: If you believe that the service products should be compatible, check the configuration of your service catalogs in SAP TM to ensure they are set up correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on managing service catalogs and forwarding agreements.
