  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/MSG063 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the gross weight of a Transportation Unit (TU) resource and the sum of the gross weights of the items that are assigned to that TU. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to create or manage transportation units.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect TU Configuration: The gross weight defined for the Transportation Unit (TU) is less than the total gross weight of the items loaded onto it.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be mistakes in the gross weight entries for either the TU or the items being loaded.
  Item Weight Changes: If the weights of the items have been modified after they were assigned to the TU, this could lead to inconsistencies.
  Missing Items: If not all items are accounted for in the TU, the total weight may not match the TU's gross weight.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify TU Gross Weight: Check the gross weight defined for the Transportation Unit. Ensure that it is equal to or greater than the sum of the gross weights of all items assigned to it.
  Check Item Weights: Review the gross weights of the items assigned to the TU. Make sure they are correctly entered and reflect the actual weights.
  Adjust Weights: If necessary, adjust the gross weight of the TU or the items to ensure they match.
  Reassign Items: If there are discrepancies, consider reassigning items to the TU or creating a new TU with the correct weight configuration.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing Transportation Units and their weights.
