• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH_UPLOAD169 - Record &1: Location &2 appears consecutively in voyage &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH_UPLOAD169 indicates that there is a problem with the data being uploaded related to a transportation management scenario. Specifically, the message states that a location appears consecutively in a voyage, which is not allowed. This typically means that the same location is listed multiple times in the sequence of stops for a particular voyage, which can lead to logical inconsistencies in the transportation planning process.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Location Entries: The most common cause of this error is that the same location (e.g., a warehouse, port, or delivery point) has been entered more than once in the sequence of stops for a voyage.
  Data Upload Issues: If the data is being uploaded from an external source (like a spreadsheet or another system), there may be formatting or data integrity issues that lead to duplicate entries.
  Incorrect Voyage Planning: The voyage itself may have been incorrectly planned, leading to the same location being scheduled multiple times.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Voyage Details: Review the details of the voyage in question (voyage number &3) to identify where the duplicate location (&2) is listed. Ensure that each location appears only once in the sequence of stops.
  Data Correction: If the data is being uploaded, correct the source data to remove any duplicate entries for the location. Ensure that the data format is consistent and adheres to the expected structure.
  Re-upload Data: After making the necessary corrections, re-upload the data to the system.
  Voyage Replanning: If the voyage has been incorrectly planned, consider replanning the voyage to ensure that the sequence of stops is logical and does not include consecutive identical locations.
