• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SFIR198 - Document queued for asynchronous processing ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SFIR198 Document queued for asynchronous processing typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when a document (such as a transportation request, shipment, or other related documents) is queued for processing in the background. This is often due to the system's design to handle certain operations asynchronously to improve performance and manage system load.
  Cause:
  
  Asynchronous Processing: The document is being processed in the background, which means it is not immediately available for further actions until the background job completes.
  System Load: High system load or performance issues may cause delays in processing documents.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that dictate how documents are processed, leading to queuing.
  Error in Background Job: If there is an error in the background job that processes these documents, it may lead to documents being stuck in the queue.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Background Jobs: Use transaction code SM37 to check the status of background jobs. Look for any jobs related to the document processing and see if they are running, completed, or failed.
  Monitor Queue: Use transaction /SCMTMS/QUEUE to monitor the queue of documents waiting for processing. This can provide insights into what documents are queued and their statuses.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the document is queued.
  Reprocess Document: If the document is stuck, you may need to manually trigger the processing again or resolve any issues that are causing the delay.
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load, consider optimizing performance by checking system resources, database performance, or scheduling jobs during off-peak hours.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings in SAP TM to ensure that they are set up correctly for your business processes.
