• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG876 - Cannot calculate estimated spend; enter capacity driver in rate table ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG876 indicates that the system is unable to calculate the estimated spend for a transportation planning scenario because a capacity driver is missing in the rate table. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to estimate costs for transportation services.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the rate table used for calculating transportation costs does not have a defined capacity driver. Capacity drivers are essential for determining how costs are calculated based on the capacity used (e.g., weight, volume, distance, etc.). If these drivers are not specified, the system cannot perform the necessary calculations.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the rate table has the appropriate capacity drivers defined. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Rate Table:
  
  Go to the SAP TM configuration or the relevant transaction where the rate tables are maintained.
  
  
  
  Check the Rate Table Configuration:
  
  Identify the rate table that is being used for the transportation planning scenario.
  Open the rate table and review its configuration.
  
  
  
  Define Capacity Drivers:
  
  Ensure that the necessary capacity drivers are defined in the rate table. This may include drivers such as weight, volume, or other relevant metrics that are used to calculate transportation costs.
  If the capacity drivers are missing, add them according to your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the rate table configuration.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Calculation:
  
  Go back to the transportation planning scenario and attempt to calculate the estimated spend again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific documentation for SAP TM for detailed information on configuring rate tables and capacity drivers.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCMTMS/RT for rate table maintenance.
