• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL395 - Planning not possible; stages of doc. &1 have different carriers ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL395 indicates that planning is not possible because the stages of the document (typically a transportation document) have different carriers assigned to them. This situation arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to plan a transportation order or a shipment that involves multiple stages, each associated with different carriers.
  Cause:
  
  Different Carriers Assigned: The primary cause of this error is that the stages of the transportation document (e.g., legs of a shipment) are assigned to different carriers. SAP TM requires that all stages of a transportation order be handled by the same carrier for planning to proceed.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data entered for the transportation order, such as incorrect carrier assignments or missing information.
  Configuration Issues: There could be configuration settings in SAP TM that enforce carrier consistency across stages.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Carrier Assignments: Review the transportation document and check the carrier assignments for each stage. Ensure that all stages are assigned to the same carrier.
  Modify Carrier Assignment: If the stages need to be planned together, modify the carrier assignment for the stages so that they all match.
  Split the Transportation Order: If the stages genuinely need to be handled by different carriers, consider splitting the transportation order into separate orders for each carrier.
  Review Planning Parameters: Check the planning parameters and settings in SAP TM to ensure that they allow for the desired carrier assignments.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing carriers in transportation planning.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TM, such as /SCMTMS/ORDER for managing transportation orders.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary roles and authorizations to make changes to transportation orders and carrier assignments.
  Training and Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP TM expert for further assistance.
  
  By addressing the carrier assignment issue, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with the planning process in SAP TM.
