• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH_UPLOAD173 - Record &1: SCAC &2 is assigned to multiple carriers. Voyage skipped ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH_UPLOAD173 indicates that there is a problem with the assignment of the Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) to multiple carriers in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This situation arises when a specific SCAC is associated with more than one carrier, which can lead to ambiguity in the system when trying to process voyages.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Assignments: The SCAC in question is linked to more than one carrier in the system. This can happen due to incorrect data entry or configuration in the carrier master data.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, it’s possible that the SCACs were not properly cleaned up, leading to duplicates.
  Configuration Errors: There may be issues in the configuration of the transportation management settings that allow for multiple carriers to be assigned the same SCAC.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Carrier Assignments:
  
  Go to the carrier master data in SAP and check the assignments for the SCAC mentioned in the error message.
  Ensure that each SCAC is uniquely assigned to only one carrier.
  
  
  
  Correct Duplicate Entries:
  
  If you find that the SCAC is assigned to multiple carriers, decide which carrier should retain the SCAC and remove the others.
  Update the carrier master data accordingly.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Implement data validation checks to prevent the assignment of the same SCAC to multiple carriers in the future.
  Regularly audit the carrier master data to ensure there are no duplicates.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help notes related to carrier management and SCAC assignments for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the system to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that voyages can be processed correctly.
