• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_CON_CACHE165 - &1 entries without connection type ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_CON_CACHE165 typically indicates that there are entries in the transportation management system (TMS) configuration that do not have a defined connection type. This can lead to issues in transportation planning and execution, as the system relies on connection types to determine how to handle transportation routes and logistics.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following:
  
  Missing Connection Type: There are entries in the connection cache that do not have an associated connection type. This can happen if the connection types were not properly defined or if there were changes in the configuration that were not fully propagated.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing or incorrect entries in the relevant tables that manage transportation connections.
  Configuration Issues: The TMS configuration may not have been set up correctly, leading to incomplete or incorrect entries.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Connection Types:
  
  Go to the TMS configuration and verify that all necessary connection types are defined.
  Ensure that the connection types are correctly assigned to the relevant entries in the system.
  
  
  
  Review the Connection Cache:

  Identify the entries that are missing connection types and investigate why they are not linked to a valid connection type.
  
  
  
  Update or Correct Entries:
  
  If you find entries without connection types, you may need to update them to include the appropriate connection type.
  You can do this by editing the relevant entries in the TMS configuration.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Connection Cache:

  Check for Transport Requests:
