• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/RATES_TMPL012 - Dimension number &1 is repeated ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/RATES_TMPL012 Dimension number &1 is repeated typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an issue with the configuration of rate templates or rate determination.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is a duplicate dimension number in the rate template configuration. In SAP TM, rate templates are used to define how transportation costs are calculated, and each dimension (such as weight, volume, distance, etc.) must be unique within a given template.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Rate Template Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code for maintaining rate templates (usually /SCMTMS/RATE_TEMPLATE or similar).
  Open the specific rate template that is causing the error.
  Review the dimensions defined in the template and look for any duplicates.
  
  
  
  Remove or Correct Duplicates:
  
  If you find that a dimension number is repeated, you will need to either remove the duplicate entry or change it to a unique dimension number.
  Ensure that each dimension is defined only once within the template.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary corrections, save the changes to the rate template.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After saving, test the rate determination process again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
