• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL280 - Different carriers maintained for the selected freight unit stages ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL280 indicates that there are different carriers assigned to the freight unit stages in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This can occur when the freight unit has multiple stages (e.g., pickup, transport, delivery) and each stage is assigned to a different carrier, which is not allowed in the current configuration or process.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Carriers Assigned: The freight unit stages have been assigned to different carriers, which is not permissible for the specific transportation planning scenario.
  Configuration Issues: The system may be configured to require a single carrier for all stages of a freight unit.
  Manual Assignments: Users may have manually assigned different carriers to the stages without realizing the implications.
  Business Rules: There may be business rules or constraints that dictate that a single carrier must handle all stages of a freight unit.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Carrier Assignments: Check the carrier assignments for each stage of the freight unit. Ensure that all stages are assigned to the same carrier if that is the requirement.
  Adjust Freight Unit Stages: If the business process allows, you may need to adjust the freight unit stages to ensure that they are all assigned to the same carrier.
  Consult Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in TMS to see if there are any rules that enforce single carrier assignments. Adjust these settings if necessary and if it aligns with business requirements.
  Reassign Carriers: If different carriers are needed for different stages, consider creating separate freight units for each stage or reassigning the carriers to ensure compliance with the system's requirements.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that you are using the latest version of SAP TMS, as updates may include fixes or enhancements related to carrier assignments.
