• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL036 - No. of parallel freight ord.(&1) exceeds max. limit (&2) for multires. &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL036 indicates that the number of parallel freight orders exceeds the maximum limit set for multi-resource planning in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises when the system attempts to process more freight orders simultaneously than the configured limit allows.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Limit: The system has a predefined limit for the number of parallel freight orders that can be processed. This limit is set in the configuration and can vary based on system performance and resource availability.
  High Volume of Freight Orders: If there is a sudden spike in the number of freight orders being processed, it may exceed the configured limit.
  System Performance: The system may be configured to limit parallel processing to ensure optimal performance and avoid overloading the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase the Limit: 
  
  You can increase the maximum limit for parallel freight orders in the TMS configuration settings. This is typically done in the Customizing settings under the TMS area.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration path (e.g., SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Transportation Management -> Basic Settings -> Define Parallel Processing).
  Adjust the settings to allow for a higher number of parallel freight orders.
  
  
  
  Optimize Freight Order Processing:
  
  Review the current freight orders and see if there are any that can be processed sequentially or if any can be delayed.
  Consider optimizing the freight order creation process to reduce the number of orders being processed at the same time.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Performance:
  
  Ensure that the system resources (CPU, memory, etc.) are adequate to handle the increased load if you decide to raise the limit.
  Monitor the system performance after making changes to ensure that it can handle the increased number of parallel processes without degradation in performance.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to TMS and parallel processing for any additional recommendations or best practices.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/PLN for planning or /SCMTMS/ORD for order management to analyze and manage freight orders.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration settings.
  Support: If the issue persists after making adjustments, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  By addressing the configuration settings and optimizing the processing of freight orders, you should be able to resolve the error and improve the efficiency of your transportation management processes.
