• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES034 - Enter a percent or an amount for relative scale items, not both ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES034 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of relative scale items in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, the error occurs when both a percentage and an amount are entered for a relative scale item, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to define a relative scale item with both a percentage and an absolute amount. In SAP TMS, relative scale items are meant to define costs or rates that vary based on certain criteria (like distance or weight) and should only have one of these values defined at a time.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that for each relative scale item, you only specify either a percentage or an amount, but not both. Here are the steps to correct the issue:
  
  
  Access the Configuration: Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP where you define the relative scale items (this could be in the TMS configuration settings).
  
  
  Review the Scale Items: Look for the specific relative scale item that is causing the error. Check the entries for that item.
  
  
  Modify the Entries:
  
  If both a percentage and an amount are defined, decide which one is appropriate for your business case.
  Remove the value that is not needed (either the percentage or the amount).
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  Test the Configuration: After saving, try to execute the process again that led to the error to ensure that it has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific documentation for SAP TMS for more details on configuring relative scale items.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help in navigating the TMS configuration (e.g., /SCMTMS/ related transactions).
  Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP Community for additional insights.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and configure your relative scale items correctly in SAP TMS.
