• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL377 - Cannot remove location &1 from doc. &2; FU or TU still assigned ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL377 indicates that there is an attempt to remove a location (such as a freight unit or transportation unit) from a document (like a transportation order or planning document) in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) system, but the operation cannot be completed because there are still freight units (FUs) or transportation units (TUs) assigned to that location.
  Cause:
  
  Assigned Freight Units or Transportation Units: The primary cause of this error is that the location you are trying to remove is still linked to one or more freight units or transportation units. This means that the system is preventing the removal to maintain data integrity.
  Incomplete Processing: There may be ongoing processes or transactions that are still referencing the location, which prevents its removal.
  Data Locking: Sometimes, data locking mechanisms in SAP can also lead to this error if the location is being accessed or modified by another user or process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Assignments: 
  
  Review the freight units and transportation units that are currently assigned to the location you are trying to remove. You can do this by navigating to the relevant documents in the SAP TM system.
  Use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/FU for freight units or /SCMTMS/TU for transportation units to check their status.
  
  
  
  Unassign Freight/Transportation Units:
  
  If you find that there are freight units or transportation units assigned to the location, you will need to unassign them first. This can typically be done in the freight unit or transportation unit details.
  Ensure that all necessary processes are completed before attempting to unassign.
  
  
  
  Check for Open Processes:
  
  Ensure that there are no open processes or transactions that are still referencing the location. This may include checking for any ongoing planning or execution processes.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a data consistency check to ensure that there are no inconsistencies in the data that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions related to your version of SAP TM, as the steps may vary slightly.
