  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL276 indicates that there is an issue with planning multiple stages of a freight document in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises when the system detects that the freight document is attempting to plan multiple stages simultaneously, which is not allowed in the current configuration or context.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Stages: The freight document may have multiple stages (e.g., pickup, transport, delivery) that are being processed at the same time, which the system does not support.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the TMS that restrict the planning of multiple stages.
  Data Integrity: There could be issues with the data integrity of the freight document, such as missing or incorrect information that prevents the system from processing multiple stages.
  Locking Mechanism: The system may have a locking mechanism that prevents multiple stages from being planned simultaneously to avoid conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Freight Document Stages: Review the freight document to ensure that it is not attempting to plan multiple stages at once. If necessary, separate the stages into individual planning requests.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the TMS to ensure that they allow for the planning of multiple stages. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or TMS configuration team.
  Data Validation: Validate the data in the freight document to ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly and that there are no inconsistencies.
  Sequential Planning: If the system does not support simultaneous planning, consider planning the stages sequentially, ensuring that one stage is completed before starting the next.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any specific guidance or updates that may address the issue.
