• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES052 - Enter a percent or an amount for absolute charge items, not both ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES052 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration of charge items in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, it occurs when both a percentage and an absolute amount are entered for a charge item, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to define a charge item with both a percentage and an absolute amount. In SAP TMS, you can only specify one of these values for a charge item. This is to ensure clarity and avoid confusion in the calculation of transportation costs.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration of the charge items in your TMS settings. Here are the steps to follow:
  
  
  Access Charge Item Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP TMS where charge items are defined.
  
  
  
  Review Charge Item Settings:
  
  Locate the charge item that is causing the error.
  Check the fields for percentage and absolute amount.
  
  
  
  Adjust Values:
  
  Ensure that only one of the fields (either percentage or absolute amount) is filled in. If both fields are populated, decide which one is appropriate for your scenario and remove the other.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Try to execute the process again that led to the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's SAP documentation for more details on configuring charge items in TMS.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help in navigating the TMS configuration (e.g., /SCMTMS/ related transactions).
