  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/RESOURCE006 indicates that for the specified resources, only Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for maintenance activities can be created. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when dealing with resource planning and scheduling.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Configuration: The resources in question may be configured in such a way that they are restricted to maintenance activities only. This could be due to settings in the resource master data or the planning strategy.
  Resource Type: The resource type may not be set up to handle other types of activities (like transportation or loading/unloading) beyond maintenance.
  Planning Area Restrictions: There may be restrictions in the planning area that limit the types of activities that can be assigned to the resource.
  Status of the Resource: The resource might be in a status that only allows maintenance activities (e.g., under maintenance, inactive).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Resource Configuration: Review the configuration of the resource in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up to handle the required activities beyond maintenance.
  
  Go to the resource master data and check the settings related to activity types.

  Review Planning Area Settings: Check the planning area settings to ensure that there are no restrictions preventing the assignment of the resource to other activities.
  
  
  Resource Status: Verify the status of the resource. If it is currently inactive or under maintenance, you may need to change its status to allow for other activities.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on resource management and configuration in SAP TM.
