• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES139 - Charge type is "Percentage"; enter "%" in "Currency" field ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES139 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of charge types in the Transportation Management System (TMS) module. Specifically, this error occurs when a charge type is set to "Percentage," but the user has not entered a "%" symbol in the "Currency" field.
  Cause:

  Navigate to the relevant transaction where you are entering the charge type (e.g., creating or modifying a charge condition).
  Locate the "Currency" field associated with the charge type.
