  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES007 indicates that a rate table (identified by &1) has a validity period (from &2 to &3) that is marked for archiving. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when the system is trying to access or utilize a rate table that is no longer active or valid due to archiving processes.
  Cause:
  
  Archiving Process: The rate table has been archived, meaning it is no longer available for active use in the system. This can happen if the data retention policies in your organization dictate that older data should be archived after a certain period.
  Data Management: The rate table may have been intentionally marked for archiving as part of data management practices to keep the database clean and efficient.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that are not aligned with the current usage of the rate tables, leading to attempts to access archived data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Validity: Verify the validity dates of the rate table in question. If the dates are indeed in the past, you may need to either reactivate the rate table or create a new one with the required validity.
  Unarchive Data: If the archived data is still needed, you may need to unarchive the rate table. This typically requires administrative access and should be done in accordance with your organization's data management policies.
  Create New Rate Table: If the archived rate table is not needed, consider creating a new rate table with the appropriate validity dates to replace the archived one.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific steps on how to manage archived rate tables in your version of SAP TM.
