• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH720 - Enter at least two locations in the standard stop sequence ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH720 Enter at least two locations in the standard stop sequence typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you are trying to create or modify a transportation order or shipment and the system requires a minimum of two locations to be defined in the standard stop sequence.
  Cause:
  This error arises because the standard stop sequence for a transportation order or shipment must include at least two locations (e.g., a pickup location and a delivery location). The system checks the stop sequence and finds that there is only one location defined, which does not meet the requirement for processing the transportation order.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that you have defined at least two locations in the standard stop sequence. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Transportation Order or Shipment: Go to the relevant transaction in SAP TM where you are encountering the error.
  
  
  Edit the Standard Stop Sequence:
  
  Navigate to the section where you can define the stop sequence.
  Ensure that you have at least two locations entered. Typically, this would include:
  
  Departure Location: The location from which goods are picked up.
  Destination Location: The location where goods are delivered.
  
  
  
  
  
  Add Additional Locations: If you only have one location, add another location to the stop sequence. You can do this by selecting the option to add a stop and entering the necessary details for the second location.
  
  
  Save Changes: After adding the required locations, save your changes and try to process the transportation order or shipment again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Standard Stop Sequence: This is a predefined sequence of locations that a transportation order will follow. It is crucial for planning and executing transportation processes.
  Transportation Management Configuration: Ensure that your SAP TM configuration is set up correctly to handle transportation orders and that all necessary master data (like locations, routes, etc.) is maintained.
  Documentation and Help: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more detailed information on managing transportation orders and the requirements for stop sequences.
