• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/MSG062 - Gross volume of TU resource &1 is smaller than the sum of gross volumes ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/MSG062 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the gross volume of a Transportation Unit (TU) resource and the total gross volumes of the items that are being loaded onto that TU. Specifically, the gross volume of the TU is smaller than the sum of the gross volumes of the items assigned to it.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect TU Configuration: The gross volume defined for the Transportation Unit may be set incorrectly or may not be sufficient to accommodate the total volume of the items being loaded.
  Item Volume Mismatch: The items being loaded onto the TU may have been incorrectly defined, leading to a total volume that exceeds the TU's capacity.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the data entry for either the TU or the items, such as incorrect volume values.
  Changes in Item Configuration: If the volume of the items was changed after they were assigned to the TU, this could lead to a mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check TU Configuration: Verify the gross volume defined for the Transportation Unit. Ensure that it is set correctly and is sufficient to accommodate the total volume of the items.
  
  Navigate to the TU configuration in the SAP system and review the volume settings.
  
  
  
  Review Item Volumes: Check the gross volumes of the items that are being loaded onto the TU. Ensure that the sum of these volumes does not exceed the TU's gross volume.
  
  You can do this by reviewing the item master data or the specific shipment details.
  
  
  
  Adjust Item Assignments: If the total volume of the items exceeds the TU's capacity, consider adjusting the items assigned to the TU. This may involve:
  
  Removing some items from the TU.
  Splitting the items across multiple TUs if necessary.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: If there are any data entry errors, correct them in the system. Ensure that all volume values are accurate and reflect the actual dimensions of the items.
  
  
  Recalculate Volumes: If changes have been made to item configurations or TU settings, recalculate the volumes to ensure that they are updated in the system.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as /SCMTMS/TU to access Transportation Unit details or /SCMTMS/SHIP for shipment details.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Transportation Management for more detailed guidance on configuring TUs and managing shipments.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the gross volume of the TU is appropriately set to accommodate the items being loaded.
