• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG220 - Updating agr. per carrier per RFQ itm; can only create new vers./add itm ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG220 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module when you are trying to update an existing freight agreement (agr.) for a carrier related to a Request for Quotation (RFQ) item. The message indicates that you cannot update the existing freight agreement directly; instead, you need to create a new version or add a new item.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Agreement Restrictions: The system does not allow modifications to certain fields of an existing freight agreement once it has been created. This is to maintain data integrity and historical accuracy.
  Version Control: SAP TM uses version control for freight agreements. If you need to make changes, you must create a new version of the agreement.
  Data Consistency: The system enforces rules to ensure that the data remains consistent and that changes do not inadvertently affect other related documents or agreements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Create a New Version: Instead of trying to update the existing freight agreement, create a new version of the agreement. This can usually be done through the transaction or application where you manage freight agreements.
  Add a New Item: If applicable, you can add a new item to the existing agreement instead of modifying the existing one.
  Check Configuration: Ensure that your system configuration allows for the creation of new versions and that you are following the correct process for managing freight agreements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to freight agreements and RFQs for specific steps on how to create new versions or add items.
  
  Related Information:
