• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/LSO273 - Resource &1: vertical sections not supported by optimizer ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/LSO273 Resource &1: vertical sections not supported by optimizer typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when the optimizer encounters a resource (like a vehicle or a transport unit) that has been defined with vertical sections, which are not supported by the optimization process.
  Cause:
  
  Vertical Sections: The resource in question has been defined with vertical sections, which are used to represent the physical layout of a transport unit (like a truck with multiple compartments). However, the optimizer does not support these vertical sections for the planning and optimization processes.
  Resource Configuration: The configuration of the resource may not be compatible with the optimization algorithms used in SAP TM.
  Data Integrity: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the resource data that lead to this issue.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Resource Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the resource (e.g., vehicle or transport unit) in the SAP TM system.
  If vertical sections are not necessary for your planning process, consider removing them from the resource definition.
  
  
  
  Modify Resource Definition:
  
  If vertical sections are required for other processes, you may need to create a separate resource without vertical sections specifically for optimization purposes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation for Transportation Management to understand the limitations and requirements for resource definitions and optimization.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the resource configuration, test the optimization process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance specific to your system configuration and version.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on resource configuration in SAP TM.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in configuring resources in SAP TM are trained and familiar with the limitations of the optimizer regarding resource definitions.
  
  By addressing the configuration of the resource and ensuring it aligns with the capabilities of the optimizer, you should be able to resolve the error message.
