• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SFM_OPT035 - Sum of minimum target shares cannot be greater than 100% ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SFM_OPT035: Sum of minimum target shares cannot be greater than 100% typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when configuring transportation planning and optimization settings. This error indicates that the sum of the minimum target shares defined for different transportation modes or routes exceeds 100%, which is not permissible.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Error: The minimum target shares for various transportation modes or routes have been set incorrectly, leading to a total that exceeds 100%.
  Data Entry Mistake: During the setup of transportation planning parameters, values may have been entered incorrectly or not updated after changes in the transportation network.
  Multiple Modes: If multiple transportation modes are being considered, the combined minimum target shares for these modes may inadvertently exceed 100%.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Configuration: Go to the configuration settings for transportation planning and check the minimum target shares assigned to each transportation mode or route.
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in SAP TM (e.g., under the Transportation Management settings).
  Check the settings for minimum target shares and ensure that their sum does not exceed 100%.
  
  
  
  Adjust Values: If you find that the sum exceeds 100%, adjust the values accordingly. Ensure that the total of all minimum target shares equals 100% or less.
  
  For example, if you have three modes with shares of 40%, 30%, and 40%, you need to adjust them to something like 40%, 30%, and 20% to ensure the total is 90%.
  
  
  
  Validation: After making adjustments, validate the configuration to ensure that the error does not reoccur. You can do this by running a test scenario or simulation to check if the error persists.
  
  
  Documentation: Ensure that any changes made are documented for future reference and to prevent similar issues from arising.
