  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_APP111 - Initial solution more expensive than planning none of the transp. demands ?
    The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_APP111 indicates that the initial solution generated by the Transportation Management System (TMS) is more expensive than the planning option that does not consider any transportation demands. This typically occurs during the planning process when the system is trying to optimize transportation costs but finds that the initial solution is not cost-effective compared to a scenario where no transportation demands are considered. Causes: High Transportation Costs: The transportation costs associated with the selected routes, carriers, or modes may be too high. Inefficient Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set in the system may not be optimized, leading to suboptimal route selections. Demand Fluctuations: Changes in transportation demand or unexpected increases in costs can lead to this error. Carrier Constraints: Limitations or constraints imposed by carriers (e.g., capacity, availability) may lead to higher costs. Incorrect Master Data: Issues with master data, such as incorrect pricing conditions, can also lead to inflated cost calculations. Solutions: Review Planning Parameters: Check the planning parameters and settings in the TMS to ensure they are optimized for cost efficiency. Analyze Transportation Costs: Review the cost structure of the transportation options available. Look for any discrepancies or areas where costs can be reduced. Adjust Demand and Supply: If possible, adjust the transportation demands or supply chain parameters to see if a more cost-effective solution can be generated. Check Master Data: Ensure that all master data related to transportation (e.g., routes,
