• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/MSG206 - Only one item classification possible; classification &1 is filled ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/MSG206 indicates that there is an issue with item classification in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, the message states that only one item classification is allowed, but the classification for the item in question (denoted by &1) is already filled. This typically occurs when you are trying to classify a transportation item that has already been assigned a classification.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Classifications: The system is designed to allow only one classification per item. If an item already has a classification assigned, attempting to assign another will trigger this error.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been an error during data entry where an attempt was made to classify an item that is already classified.
  Configuration Issues: There could be issues in the configuration of the TMS that are causing the system to misinterpret the classification status of the item.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Classifications: Review the item in question to see what classification has already been assigned. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or report in TMS.
  Remove Existing Classification: If you need to change the classification, you will first need to remove the existing classification before assigning a new one.
  Correct Data Entry: Ensure that the data entry process is followed correctly to avoid attempting to classify an already classified item.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on item classifications in TMS.
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to review the configuration settings in TMS to ensure that they are set up correctly.
  
  Related Information:
