• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH093 - &1: Document type &2 is not allowed for transportation mode category &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH093 &1: Document type &2 is not allowed for transportation mode category &3 typically occurs in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS) when there is a mismatch between the document type being used and the transportation mode category defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Document Type Configuration: The document type you are trying to use is not configured to be used with the specified transportation mode category. Each document type (like shipment, freight order, etc.) can be restricted to certain transportation modes (like truck, rail, air, etc.).
  
  
  Transportation Mode Category: The transportation mode category you are using may not support the document type you are trying to create or process. For example, if you are trying to create a shipment document for a mode that is not allowed for that document type, this error will occur.
  
  
  Custom Configuration: If there have been customizations or changes made to the configuration of document types or transportation modes, it may lead to this error if the relationships are not properly defined.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP TMS and check the allowed document types for the transportation mode category in question. This can typically be found in the customizing settings under:
  
  SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Transportation -> Basic Transportation Functions -> Define Document Types.
  
  
  Ensure that the document type you are trying to use is allowed for the specified transportation mode category.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Type or Mode: 
  
  If the document type is not allowed for the transportation mode category, you may need to either change the document type to one that is allowed or adjust the configuration to allow the current document type for that transportation mode.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the document types and transportation modes to ensure you are using them correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making any changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Contact Support: 
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue through configuration changes, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
