This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to settle freight costs.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Charges in Freight Order: The primary cause of this error is that the freight order referenced in the error message does not have any associated charges. This could happen if:
  
  The freight order was created without any cost items.
  The cost calculation was not performed or was unsuccessful.
  The freight order was not properly configured to include charges.
  
  
  
  Incomplete Data: There may be missing or incomplete data in the freight order that prevents the system from calculating or recognizing the charges.
  
  
  Incorrect Status: The freight order may be in a status that does not allow for the posting of settlement documents.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Freight Order Charges:
