• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_TLD711 - &3 invalid paths exist from &1 to &2; no lane or schedule ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_TLD711 indicates that there are invalid paths between two locations in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, it means that there are no valid lanes or schedules defined for the transportation route from the source location (&1) to the destination location (&2). This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to create a transportation request or when planning a shipment.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Lane Definition: There may not be a defined transportation lane between the specified locations. A lane is a defined route that specifies how goods can be transported between two points.
  Inactive or Incorrect Schedule: Even if a lane exists, the schedule associated with that lane may be inactive or incorrectly configured.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data, such as incorrect location data or missing transportation zones.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in TMS may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of valid paths.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Lane Configuration:
  
  Go to the TMS configuration and check if a lane exists between the specified locations. If not, create a new lane.
  Ensure that the lane is active and correctly configured with the necessary details (e.g., transportation mode, carrier, etc.).
  
  
  
  Review Schedule Settings:
  
  Verify that there is a valid schedule associated with the lane. If the schedule is inactive or missing, create or activate the necessary schedule.
  
  
  
  Validate Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the locations involved. Ensure that the locations are correctly defined and that they belong to the appropriate transportation zones.
  
  
  
  Check TMS Configuration:
  
  Review the TMS configuration settings to ensure that all necessary components are properly set up. This includes checking the transportation network and ensuring that all relevant settings are in place.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on configuring transportation lanes and schedules.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transportation request or shipment planning again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
