  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TAL005 Maximum value is lower than minimum value; no changes are possible typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an issue with the configuration of transportation lanes, routes, or other related settings. This error indicates that the system has detected a logical inconsistency where the maximum value set for a parameter is lower than the minimum value, making it impossible to process changes.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Error: The most common cause is a misconfiguration in the transportation lane or route settings where the maximum value (e.g., maximum weight, maximum volume) is incorrectly set to be less than the minimum value.
  Data Entry Error: During the setup of transportation lanes or routes, incorrect values may have been entered, leading to this inconsistency.
  Master Data Issues: Problems with master data related to transportation (e.g., vehicle capacities, shipping conditions) can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the transportation lanes or routes where the error occurred. Ensure that the maximum values are greater than or equal to the minimum values.
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration in SAP TM (e.g., SPRO settings for Transportation Management).
  Look for settings related to transportation lanes, routes, or any other relevant parameters.
  
  
  
  Correct Values: If you find that the maximum value is indeed set lower than the minimum value, correct the values accordingly.
  
  Update the maximum value to be greater than or equal to the minimum value.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data: Review the master data related to transportation, such as vehicle capacities and shipping conditions, to ensure that they are correctly defined and do not conflict with the transportation lane settings.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by attempting to make the changes again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct values or settings, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with SAP TM configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/TL for transportation lanes or /SCMTMS/ROUTE for routes to access the relevant settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide guidance on configuration best practices.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the configuration and master data, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your transportation management settings are correctly configured.
