  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/INCOMP002 indicates an incompatibility issue in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, it means that a certain configuration or setting is defined to allow only "Identical values," but the system has encountered a situation where this condition is not met.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Incompatible Configuration: The configuration for a certain characteristic (like transportation lanes, freight agreements, etc.) is set to allow only identical values, but the system is trying to process or compare values that are not identical.
  Data Entry Issues: There may be discrepancies in the data entered for the transportation planning or execution, leading to non-identical values being compared.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the relevant characteristics in the TMS. Ensure that the settings align with the data being processed.
  If the configuration is too restrictive, consider changing it to allow for non-identical values if that fits your business process.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Validate the data being used in the transaction. Ensure that all values that are supposed to be identical are indeed the same.
  Look for any typos, formatting issues, or discrepancies in the data entries.
  
  
  
  Master Data Review:
  
  Check the master data for the entities involved in the transaction. Ensure that all relevant master data records are consistent and correctly defined.
