• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG848 - No response selected for optimizer; select at least two responses ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG848 indicates that the optimizer did not find any valid responses for the transportation planning process. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to execute a transportation planning run, and it means that the system requires at least two valid responses to proceed.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Responses: The optimizer requires at least two feasible transportation responses to select from. If only one or none are available, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the transportation planning process, such as missing or incorrect settings in the transportation lanes, routes, or other related master data.
  Data Issues: Incomplete or incorrect data in the transportation request, such as missing delivery dates, weights, or volumes, can lead to the optimizer not generating enough responses.
  Optimizer Settings: The settings for the optimizer may not be configured to generate multiple responses, or the criteria for generating responses may be too restrictive.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Responses: Review the transportation planning run to ensure that there are at least two valid responses generated by the optimizer. If not, investigate why the optimizer is not generating multiple responses.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: Modify the planning parameters or criteria to allow for more flexible response generation. This may involve adjusting the transportation lanes, routes, or other relevant settings.
  Review Master Data: Ensure that all relevant master data (e.g., transportation lanes, routes, and shipping points) is correctly configured and complete. This includes checking for any missing or incorrect entries.
  Run the Optimizer Again: After making necessary adjustments, rerun the optimizer to see if it generates the required number of responses.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring the optimizer and understanding its response generation logic.
