  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_CON_CACHE161 indicates that there are entries in the transportation management system (TMS) configuration that do not have an associated transportation mode. This can lead to issues in the planning and execution of transportation processes, as the system relies on transportation modes to determine how goods should be moved.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Configuration: The transportation mode has not been defined or configured properly in the system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration settings that lead to the absence of a transportation mode for certain entries.
  Transport Request Issues: If transport requests are not properly assigned to a transportation mode, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Transportation Modes:
  
  Go to the TMS configuration in SAP (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant section for defining transportation modes (usually under Logistics Execution or Transportation Management).

  Review Configuration Entries:

  Identify the entries that are causing the error and check if they have an associated transportation mode.
  If any entries are missing a transportation mode, assign the appropriate mode.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks in the TMS to identify any other potential issues that may be causing the error.
  Use transaction code /SCMTMS/CONSISTENCY_CHECK to perform this check.
  
  
  
  Transport Request Assignment:
  
  Ensure that all transport requests are properly assigned to a transportation mode.
  If necessary, reassign transport requests to the correct transportation modes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
