• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL444 - Cannot remove location &1 from doc. &2; sub-stops still assigned ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL444 indicates that there is an attempt to remove a location from a document (such as a transportation order or shipment) in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) system, but the operation cannot be completed because there are still sub-stops assigned to that location. 
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the location you are trying to remove is still linked to one or more sub-stops in the transportation document. Sub-stops are typically intermediate stops in a transportation route, and they must be cleared or removed before the main stop (location) can be deleted.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Sub-Stops: Review the transportation document to identify any sub-stops that are still assigned to the location you are trying to remove. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transportation order or shipment and checking the stops or sub-stops associated with it.
  
  
  Remove Sub-Stops: If there are sub-stops assigned to the location, you will need to remove or reassign them. This can typically be done by:
  
  Editing the transportation document and navigating to the stops section.
  Selecting the sub-stop(s) that are linked to the location and either deleting them or changing their assignment.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Removal: Once all sub-stops have been removed or reassigned, you can attempt to remove the main location again.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or constraints that might prevent the removal of the location. This could include other documents or processes that are still referencing the location.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the steps or if the issue persists, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TM, such as /SCMTMS/ORDER for transportation orders or /SCMTMS/SHIP for shipments, to navigate and manage transportation documents effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address known issues.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify transportation documents, as restrictions may also lead to errors when attempting to make changes.
