• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG608 - Maintain either stdalone FA or calc. sheet determin. rule, but not both ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG608 indicates a configuration issue in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) system. This error occurs when both standalone freight agreements (FA) and calculation sheet determination rules are maintained simultaneously for the same scenario, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You have defined both a standalone freight agreement and a calculation sheet determination rule for the same transportation scenario or conditions.
  The system does not know which method to use for freight calculation, leading to a conflict.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that only one of the two options (either standalone freight agreements or calculation sheet determination rules) is maintained for the relevant transportation scenario. Here are the steps to resolve the issue:
  
  
  Identify the Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP TM where you have defined the freight agreements and calculation sheets.
  Check the settings for the transportation lane, freight order, or any other relevant object where the error is occurring.
  
  
  
  Decide on the Method:
  
  Determine whether you want to use standalone freight agreements or calculation sheet determination rules for your freight calculations.
  If you prefer standalone freight agreements, remove or deactivate the calculation sheet determination rules.
  Conversely, if you want to use calculation sheets, ensure that there are no standalone freight agreements defined for the same conditions.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Configuration:
  
  If you choose to keep standalone freight agreements, navigate to the relevant configuration area (e.g., transaction SPRO) and remove the conflicting calculation sheet determination rules.
  If you choose to use calculation sheets, go to the freight agreement settings and remove the standalone agreements.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the transportation process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/FA for freight agreements and /SCMTMS/CS for calculation sheets to access the relevant configuration areas.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed guidance on configuring freight agreements and calculation sheets in SAP TM.
  Support: If you continue to face issues, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP TM expert for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your SAP TM configuration is set up correctly for freight calculations.
