• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/OM003 - Item &1: Recording of VGM data is only allowed for item with one piece ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/OM003 Item &1: Recording of VGM data is only allowed for item with one piece typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to record Verified Gross Mass (VGM) data for a transportation item that does not meet the required conditions.
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the system is trying to record VGM data for a transportation item that is not a single piece. In SAP TM, VGM data is generally applicable to items that are shipped as a single unit (one piece). If the item is part of a larger shipment or is not defined as a single piece, the system will not allow the recording of VGM data.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Item Configuration: Verify the configuration of the item in question. Ensure that it is set up as a single piece. This may involve checking the item type, quantity, and packaging details.
  
  
  Adjust Item Quantity: If the item is indeed part of a larger shipment, consider adjusting the quantity to reflect a single piece if that is appropriate for your business process.
  
  
  Review VGM Requirements: Ensure that the VGM requirements are correctly set up in your system. If your business process requires VGM for multiple pieces, you may need to adjust your configuration or business process accordingly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on how VGM data is handled in your version of SAP TM.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide guidance based on your specific configuration and business processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to transportation management and VGM data handling, such as /SCMTMS/ related transactions.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to record the VGM data has the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a suitable solution.
