• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG321 - Billing schedule not specified ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG321 Billing schedule not specified typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to process a billing document or related transaction, but the system cannot find a billing schedule associated with the relevant transportation document.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Billing Schedule: The most common cause is that the billing schedule has not been defined for the transportation document or the relevant business process.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP TM settings that prevent the system from recognizing or generating a billing schedule.
  Incomplete Data: The necessary data for creating a billing schedule might be incomplete or missing in the relevant master data or transaction data.
  Document Status: The status of the transportation document may not allow for billing to be processed, which can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Billing Schedule Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings in SAP TM and ensure that the billing schedule is properly defined for the relevant transportation process.
  Ensure that the billing types and conditions are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Billing Schedule:
  
  If a billing schedule is missing, you may need to create one manually or ensure that the system generates it based on the defined rules.
  Check the relevant transportation document (e.g., shipment, freight order) to see if a billing schedule can be created or updated.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:

  Check Document Status:
