• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/MSG104 - Successor seq. &1 of sequence &2 for movement type &3 is not permitted ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/MSG104 indicates that there is an issue with the sequencing of transportation movements in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, it states that the successor sequence for a particular movement type is not permitted. This typically occurs when the system detects a violation of the defined sequence rules for transportation movements.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Sequence Definition: The sequence of transportation movements may not be defined correctly in the system. For example, a movement type may be expected to follow a specific order, and the current configuration does not allow for the defined successor.
  Movement Type Restrictions: Certain movement types may have restrictions on what can follow them. If a movement type is not allowed to be succeeded by another type, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings related to transportation management, such as the sequence of operations or the allowed transitions between different movement types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Movement Type Configuration: Review the configuration of the movement types involved. Ensure that the successor movement type is allowed to follow the predecessor movement type as per the defined rules in the system.
  Adjust Sequence Definitions: If necessary, adjust the sequence definitions in the TMS configuration to allow for the desired transitions between movement types.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or configuration guides for TMS to understand the allowed sequences and any specific rules that may apply to the movement types in question.
  Testing: After making changes, perform testing to ensure that the new configurations work as expected and that the error does not reoccur.
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, providing them with the details of the error and the context in which it occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/SEQ to check and modify sequence definitions.
  Customizing Settings: The relevant customizing settings can usually be found under the TMS configuration in the SAP system.
  Documentation: SAP Help Portal and SAP Notes can provide additional insights and troubleshooting steps related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
