  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_MAP_VTC002 indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of planning objects in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) system. Specifically, it suggests that the planning objects you are trying to map are already covered by another mapping process, which is indicated by the message referring to /SCMTMS/MC_MAP_PLN.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are attempting to create a mapping for planning objects that have already been mapped to another transportation planning object.

  Check Existing Mappings:

  Modify or Delete Conflicting Mappings:
  
  If you find that the planning objects are already mapped, you can either modify the existing mapping to include the new requirements or delete the conflicting mapping if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Review Mapping Logic:
  
  Ensure that your mapping logic is correctly set up and that there are no unintended overlaps. This may involve reviewing the criteria used for mapping and ensuring they are distinct.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
