• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES039 - Current default rate table type is &1. You can have only one default. ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES039 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of rate table types in the SAP Transportation Management System (SAP TM). Specifically, the error states that the current default rate table type is set to a specific type (denoted by &1), and that only one default rate table type can be configured at a time.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Multiple Default Rate Table Types: There are multiple rate table types configured as default in the system, which is not allowed. The system expects only one rate table type to be marked as default.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the rate table settings, leading to the system being unable to determine which rate table type should be the default.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Rate Table Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for rate tables in SAP TM.
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or configuration area where rate table types are defined (e.g., SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Transportation -> Basic Transportation Management -> Rate Management -> Define Rate Table Types).
  
  
  
  Identify Default Rate Table Types:
  
  Review the list of rate table types and identify which one is currently set as default.
  Ensure that only one rate table type is marked as default. If there are multiple entries marked as default, you will need to change the settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Default Settings:
  
  If you find multiple default entries, select the appropriate rate table type that should be the default and unmark the others.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, test the configuration by trying to perform the action that previously triggered the error.
  Ensure that the system now recognizes the correct default rate table type without any errors.
