• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH045 - Deletion is not possible; voyage referenced by voyage &1 of schedule &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH045 indicates that a deletion operation cannot be performed because the voyage you are trying to delete is still referenced by a schedule. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM), where schedules and voyages are interlinked.
  Cause:
  
  Voyage Dependency: The voyage you are attempting to delete is still linked to a schedule. This means that there are existing references in the system that prevent the deletion.

  Check References: Identify the schedule that is referencing the voyage. You can do this by checking the details of the schedule in the SAP TM system.
  
  
  Remove References: If the voyage is indeed referenced by a schedule, you will need to either:
  
  Remove the reference from the schedule, or
  Delete or modify the schedule itself if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Delete Voyage: Once all references to the voyage have been removed, you should be able to delete the voyage without encountering the error.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to proceed, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance on managing schedules and voyages.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TM, such as /SCMTMS/VY for managing voyages and /SCMTMS/SCH for schedules.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete voyages and modify schedules in the SAP system.
  System Logs: Check system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide further context on the issue.
  Testing: If you are working in a development or test environment, consider testing the deletion process to ensure that it works as expected before applying changes in the production environment.
