  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatch in Charges: The most common cause of this error is that the charges in the carrier's invoice do not match the charges that were defined in the freight order. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect data entry by the carrier.
  Changes in the freight order after the carrier has generated their invoice.
  Different pricing conditions applied in the freight order versus what the carrier has billed.
  
  
  
  Currency Differences: If there are currency conversions involved, discrepancies can arise if the exchange rates used by the carrier differ from those used in the freight order.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Pricing Conditions: If the pricing conditions in the freight order are not correctly set up or are missing, this can lead to mismatches.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the Charges: Compare the charges in the carrier's invoice with those in the freight order. Identify any discrepancies in amounts, pricing conditions, or additional charges.
  
  
  Adjust the Freight Order: If the carrier's invoice is correct and reflects the actual services provided, you may need to adjust the freight order to match the invoice. This could involve changing the pricing conditions or adding any additional charges that were not included initially.
  
  
  Communicate with the Carrier: If the freight order is correct, reach out to the carrier to clarify the discrepancies. They may need to issue a corrected invoice.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Ensure that the pricing conditions and calculation schema in your SAP TM system are correctly configured. This includes checking for any changes that may have been made to the pricing conditions after the freight order was created.
  
  
  Reprocess the Invoice: After making the necessary adjustments, reprocess the invoice in the system to ensure that it is accepted without errors.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as /SCMTMS/FR_ORDER to view and edit freight orders or /SCMTMS/FR_INVOICE to view carrier invoices.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Transportation Management for detailed information on pricing conditions and freight order management.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you have custom logic implemented, check if any user exits or BAdIs are affecting the pricing calculations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the charges in the carrier invoice align with those in the freight order.
