• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES106 - Enter a validity end date ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES106 typically indicates that a validity end date is required for a transportation rate or condition record in the SAP Transportation Management System (SAP TM). This error often arises when you are trying to create or modify a rate record without specifying a validity end date, which is necessary for the system to understand the time frame during which the rate is applicable.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Enter Validity End Date: When creating or modifying a transportation rate, ensure that you fill in the validity end date field. This date should indicate when the rate will no longer be applicable.
  Check Existing Records: If you are modifying an existing record, check if the record already has a validity end date. If it does not, you will need to add one.
  Review Configuration: If you believe the validity end date should not be mandatory, review the configuration settings in SAP TM to see if this requirement can be adjusted.
