  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/ORG_UNIT060 typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an issue related to the configuration of organizational units and their partner functions. This error indicates that the partner functions for the child organizational units of a specified organizational unit have not been defined.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  An organizational unit (e.g., a transportation zone, location, or other relevant unit) is being processed, and it has child organizational units.
  The partner functions for these child units have not been defined in the system.
  The system requires these partner functions to be set up to ensure proper communication and processing of transportation-related activities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to define the partner functions for the child organizational units. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the configuration area for Transportation Management. This is usually found under SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object).
  
  
  
  Define Partner Functions:
  
  In the configuration menu, look for the section related to organizational units or partner functions.
  You may find a path like: Logistics -> Logistics Execution -> Transportation -> Basic Settings -> Define Partner Functions.
  Here, you can define the necessary partner functions for the child organizational units.
  
  
  
  Assign Partner Functions:
  
  Ensure that each child organizational unit has the appropriate partner functions assigned. This may include roles such as shipper, carrier, or other relevant roles depending on your business processes.
  
  
  
  Check for Inheritance:
  
  If your organizational structure allows for inheritance of partner functions, ensure that the parent organizational unit has the correct partner functions defined, and check if they are being inherited by the child units.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After defining the partner functions, test the configuration by attempting to perform the action that previously triggered the error. Ensure that the error no longer appears.
