• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_DLV009 - FUs have been split; &1 freight unit items assigned to new freight units ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_DLV009 indicates that freight units (FUs) have been split during the planning process in SAP Transportation Management (TM). This typically occurs when the system determines that certain items within a freight unit cannot be transported together due to various constraints, leading to the creation of new freight units.
  Cause:
  
  Capacity Constraints: The original freight unit may exceed the capacity of the transportation resources (e.g., vehicle, container).
  Different Transportation Requirements: Items may have different delivery dates, destinations, or handling requirements that necessitate separation.
  Load Compatibility: Certain items may not be compatible for transport together due to safety regulations or handling requirements.
  Planning Parameters: Configuration settings in the transportation planning process may dictate that certain items should not be combined.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Freight Unit Configuration: Check the configuration settings in SAP TM to ensure that they align with your transportation requirements. Adjust parameters if necessary.
  Analyze Freight Unit Items: Look at the items that have been split to understand why they were separated. This may involve checking their attributes, such as weight, volume, and delivery dates.
  Adjust Transportation Resources: If capacity is an issue, consider adjusting the transportation resources (e.g., using a larger vehicle or additional vehicles).
  Modify Planning Strategy: If the split is not desired, you may need to modify your planning strategy or rules to allow for more flexible combinations of freight unit items.
  Manual Intervention: In some cases, you may need to manually consolidate freight units if the automatic planning does not meet your needs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/FU to view and manage freight units.
  Logs and Messages: Check the logs for additional messages or warnings that may provide more context on why the split occurred.
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may address specific issues related to freight unit splitting.
  User Exits and BAdIs: Consider implementing user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to customize the planning behavior if the standard functionality does not meet your requirements.
  
  By understanding the cause of the split and applying the appropriate solutions, you can effectively manage freight units in SAP TM and minimize disruptions in your transportation planning process.
