• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SFIR055 - Invoicing parties in FO &1 and FSD &2 do not match ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SFIR055 indicates that there is a mismatch between the invoicing parties defined in the Freight Order (FO) and the Freight Settlement Document (FSD). This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when processing freight settlements.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the invoicing party specified in the Freight Order does not match the invoicing party in the corresponding Freight Settlement Document. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrectly entered invoicing party information in either the Freight Order or the Freight Settlement Document.
  Changes in Master Data: Changes made to the master data (e.g., customer/vendor information) after the Freight Order was created, which are not reflected in the Freight Settlement Document.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the system that govern how invoicing parties are determined.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Invoicing Parties:
  
  Review the invoicing party details in both the Freight Order and the Freight Settlement Document.
  Ensure that the invoicing parties match. You can do this by navigating to the relevant documents in SAP TM.
  
  
  
  Update the Freight Order or FSD:
  
  If there is a discrepancy, you may need to update either the Freight Order or the Freight Settlement Document to ensure that the invoicing parties are consistent.
  If the Freight Order is correct, you may need to adjust the FSD to match the invoicing party in the Freight Order.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the involved parties (customers, vendors) to ensure that the correct invoicing party is set up.
  If there have been recent changes to the master data, ensure that these changes are reflected in both documents.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to invoicing in SAP TM. Ensure that the settings for determining invoicing parties are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
