• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_TLD708 - Cannot reach transshipment location &2 of start location &1; no lane ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_TLD708 indicates that the system cannot reach a transshipment location from a specified start location because there is no defined transportation lane between them. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to plan a transportation route that involves transshipment.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Transportation Lane: The most common cause is that there is no transportation lane defined between the start location and the transshipment location in the system.
  Incorrect Location Data: The locations involved may not be correctly set up in the system, or there may be discrepancies in the location master data.
  Inactive or Incorrectly Configured Lane: The transportation lane may be inactive or not configured properly, which prevents the system from recognizing it as a valid route.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters or settings may not allow for transshipment in the current configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Transportation Lane:
  
  Go to the SAP TM configuration and check if a transportation lane exists between the start location and the transshipment location.
  If it does not exist, create a new transportation lane that connects these two locations. Ensure that the lane is active and properly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Location Master Data:
  
  Verify that both the start location and the transshipment location are correctly defined in the system.
  Ensure that the locations have the necessary attributes and are assigned to the correct transportation zones.
  
  
  
  Review Lane Configuration:
  
  If a transportation lane exists, check its configuration to ensure it is active and correctly set up (e.g., valid dates, transportation mode, etc.).
  Make sure that the lane allows for the type of transportation you are trying to plan.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  Review the planning parameters in the SAP TM settings to ensure that transshipment is allowed and that the system is configured to consider transshipment locations during planning.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on setting up transportation lanes and managing transshipment locations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
