Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG895 - Cannot view carrier responses; sealed bid enabled for FA RFQ master &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/FAG_MSG895 indicates that you are trying to view carrier responses for a Freight Agreement (FA) Request for Quotation (RFQ) where sealed bidding is enabled. This means that the system is configured to prevent the visibility of carrier responses until the bidding process is complete.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  Sealed Bidding Enabled: The RFQ is set up with sealed bidding, which means that the responses from carriers are not visible to other carriers until the bidding process is finalized.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to view the responses, although this is less likely given the context of sealed bidding.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following options:
  
  
  Check RFQ Settings:
  
  Review the settings of the RFQ to confirm if sealed bidding is indeed enabled. If you need to view the responses, you may need to disable the sealed bidding option, but this should be done with caution and in accordance with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Complete the Bidding Process:
  
  If sealed bidding is required, you will need to wait until the bidding process is complete. Once the bidding is closed, you should be able to view the carrier responses.
  
  
  
  User Permissions:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions to view the RFQ and its responses. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on managing RFQs and sealed bidding processes.
