• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_UI_LSO_3D165 - Center of gravity can't be displayed; axles have no empty weight ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/MC_UI_LSO_3D165 indicates that the system is unable to display the center of gravity for a transportation unit because the axles do not have an associated empty weight. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when dealing with transportation units, such as trucks or trailers, where the system needs to calculate the center of gravity based on the weight distribution of the axles.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Empty Weight Data: The primary cause of this error is that the empty weight for the axles of the transportation unit has not been defined in the system. Without this data, the system cannot perform the necessary calculations to determine the center of gravity.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the transportation unit settings or in the master data related to the vehicle or axle specifications.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies or missing data in the relevant master data records, such as the vehicle master or axle specifications.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Empty Weight for Axles:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration or master data area in SAP TM.
  Locate the transportation unit or vehicle master data.
  Ensure that the empty weight for each axle is correctly defined. This may involve entering the weight data for each axle in the appropriate fields.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings for transportation units in SAP TM to ensure that all necessary parameters are set up correctly.
  Ensure that the transportation unit type is correctly configured to include axle weight data.
  
  
  
  Validate Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the transportation unit and ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly.
  Look for any missing or incorrect entries that could lead to this error.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the functionality again to see if the error persists.
  If the error is resolved, ensure that the changes are documented and communicated to relevant stakeholders.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring transportation units and axle weights.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for documentation on Transportation Management and the specific configuration of transportation units.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, providing them with details of the error and the steps you have already taken.
