• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG861 - Status of forwarding agreement quotation items set to "Approved" ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG861 indicates that the status of forwarding agreement quotation items has been set to "Approved." This message typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when dealing with forwarding agreements and their associated quotations.
  Cause:
  
  Status Change: The error message is triggered when there is an attempt to change the status of a forwarding agreement quotation item that is already in the "Approved" state. This could happen if a user tries to edit or delete an approved quotation item.
  Business Logic: The system is designed to prevent modifications to approved items to maintain data integrity and compliance with business processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Quotation Status: Check the current status of the forwarding agreement quotation items. If they are already approved, you will need to determine if any changes are necessary.
  Create New Quotation: If changes are required, consider creating a new quotation instead of modifying the existing approved one. This allows you to maintain a record of the original quotation while also accommodating any new requirements.
  Revoke Approval: If it is absolutely necessary to change the approved quotation, you may need to revoke the approval status first (if your business process allows for this). This typically requires specific permissions and should be done with caution.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling forwarding agreements and quotations to ensure compliance with established processes.
