• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/OM224 - Main package item &1 cannot be removed ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/OM224 Main package item &1 cannot be removed typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you are trying to remove a main package item from a transportation unit or a shipment, but the system prevents this action due to certain constraints.
  Cause:
  
  Dependencies: The main package item may have dependencies or relationships with other items or processes that prevent its removal. For example, if there are other items that rely on this main package item, the system will not allow its removal.
  Status Restrictions: The status of the transportation unit or shipment may not allow for modifications. If the shipment is already in a status that does not permit changes (e.g., completed, invoiced), you will encounter this error.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in your SAP system that restrict the removal of main package items under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the main package item and any related items to ensure there are no dependencies that would prevent its removal. If there are dependent items, you may need to remove or adjust them first.
  Review Status: Check the status of the transportation unit or shipment. If it is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change the status or revert to a previous state where modifications are permitted.
  Consult Configuration: If you suspect that configuration settings are causing the issue, consult with your SAP TM configuration team to understand if there are any restrictions in place regarding the removal of main package items.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like /SCMTMS/TO for transportation orders) to navigate to the relevant objects and check their details.
  Error Logs: Check the application logs or error logs for more detailed information about why the removal is being blocked. This can provide insights into specific conditions that are not being met.
