  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/LSO305 indicates that there is a conflict between two load planning rules in the SAP Transportation Management System (TM). Specifically, it states that the load planning rules identified as &1 and &2 are mutually exclusive, meaning that they cannot be applied simultaneously to the same load or transportation request.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  Conflicting Load Planning Rules: The two load planning rules have conditions or parameters that cannot coexist. For example, one rule may specify a certain type of vehicle while the other specifies a different type, or they may have conflicting constraints regarding load capacity or destination.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the load planning rules setup, leading to unintended overlaps or conflicts.

  Review Load Planning Rules: Check the definitions and conditions of the load planning rules &1 and &2. Identify the specific parameters that are causing the conflict.
  
  
  Modify Rules: If possible, modify one or both of the load planning rules to eliminate the conflict. This may involve changing the conditions under which each rule is applied.
  
  
  Adjust Assignments: Ensure that the correct load planning rules are assigned to the transportation request or load. If one rule is not necessary for the current scenario, consider removing it.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring load planning rules and understanding their interactions.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the load planning process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
