• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SFM_OPT015 - Minimum target share &3 for carrier &1 is greater than maximum share ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SFM_OPT015 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the minimum and maximum target share values for a specific carrier in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises during the optimization process when the system attempts to allocate shipments to carriers based on their defined share parameters.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The minimum target share for the carrier is set higher than the maximum target share. This is a logical inconsistency because the minimum share cannot exceed the maximum share.
  Data Entry Error: Incorrect values may have been entered in the carrier configuration settings, leading to this conflict.
  Carrier Settings: The carrier's share settings may not have been properly defined or updated after changes in business rules or requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Carrier Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the carrier settings in the TMS configuration.
  Check the minimum and maximum target share values for the affected carrier.
  Ensure that the minimum target share is less than or equal to the maximum target share.
  
  
  
  Adjust Values:
  
  If the minimum share is indeed greater than the maximum share, adjust the values accordingly. Set the minimum target share to a value that is less than or equal to the maximum target share.
  
  
  
  Validate Changes:
  
  After making adjustments, validate the changes by running the optimization process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring carrier shares correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  Conduct tests with different scenarios to ensure that the changes made do not affect other carriers or the overall optimization process.
