• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL271 - Cannot create freight booking for &1 due to missing proposals ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL271 indicates that the system cannot create a freight booking for a specific shipment due to missing proposals. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when the system is unable to find suitable transportation proposals for the shipment.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Transportation Proposals: The most common cause of this error is that there are no valid transportation proposals available for the shipment. This can happen if:
  
  The planning process did not generate any proposals.
  The proposals generated do not meet the criteria for the freight booking.
  There are issues with the master data (e.g., transportation lanes, shipping conditions) that prevent the generation of proposals.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the transportation management settings can lead to the inability to generate proposals.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: Missing or incorrect data in the shipment or related master data (like routes, carriers, etc.) can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transportation Proposals:
  
  Go to the Transportation Management work center and check if there are any proposals available for the shipment in question.
  If no proposals exist, you may need to run the planning process again to generate them.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Settings:
  
  Ensure that the planning settings are correctly configured. This includes checking the transportation lanes, shipping conditions, and any other relevant settings that might affect proposal generation.
  
  
  
  Validate Master Data:
  
  Check the master data related to the shipment, such as the shipping point, transportation lanes, and carrier information. Ensure that all necessary data is complete and accurate.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Planning Process:
  
  If proposals are missing, you may need to re-run the planning process for the shipment. This can often be done through the SAP TM interface.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs and Messages:
  
  Check the logs and messages generated during the planning process for any warnings or errors that might indicate why proposals were not created.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
