• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG835 - More than one trade lane cannot exist for item &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG835 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of trade lanes in the SAP Transportation Management System (TM). Specifically, the error states that more than one trade lane cannot exist for a particular item, which typically means that the system has detected multiple trade lanes that could potentially apply to the same transportation item, leading to ambiguity.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Trade Lanes Defined: The most common cause of this error is that there are multiple trade lanes defined in the system that match the criteria for the transportation item in question. Trade lanes are used to define the routes and conditions under which goods are transported, and having more than one active trade lane for the same item can create conflicts.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the trade lane settings, such as overlapping parameters (e.g., origin, destination, transportation mode) that lead to multiple valid trade lanes for the same item.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Errors in data entry when creating or modifying trade lanes can also lead to this issue, such as duplicating entries or incorrectly defining the parameters.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Trade Lane Configuration: Check the trade lanes defined in the system for the specific item. Ensure that there is only one active trade lane that matches the criteria for the item. You can do this by navigating to the trade lane configuration in SAP TM and reviewing the entries.
  
  
  Consolidate Trade Lanes: If multiple trade lanes are necessary for different scenarios, consider consolidating them or adjusting the parameters so that they do not overlap for the same item.
  
  
  Adjust Parameters: Modify the parameters of the trade lanes to ensure that they are distinct and do not conflict with each other. This may involve changing the origin, destination, or transportation mode.
  
  
  Check for Inactive Trade Lanes: Sometimes, inactive trade lanes may still be causing conflicts. Ensure that any obsolete or inactive trade lanes are properly deactivated or deleted.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring trade lanes correctly and understanding the implications of trade lane settings.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration by attempting to create or process the transportation item again to ensure that the error is resolved.
