• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES152 - You cannot mark for archiving in current validity period ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES152 indicates that you are trying to mark a transport rate for archiving, but the rate is still within its current validity period. This means that the transport rate is still active and cannot be archived until it is no longer valid.
  Cause:
  
  Current Validity Period: The transport rate you are trying to archive is still within its defined validity period. SAP does not allow archiving of data that is still active or relevant for current operations.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces this rule to maintain data integrity and ensure that all active rates are available for any ongoing transactions or processes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Validity Period:
  
  Review the validity period of the transport rate you are trying to archive. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., /SCMTMS/TC_RATES).
  Identify the start and end dates of the transport rate.
  
  
  
  Change Validity Period:
  
  If the transport rate is still valid and you want to archive it, you will need to change its validity period. You can do this by:
  
  Extending the end date to a date in the past (if applicable).
  Setting the end date to the current date or a date before the current date.
  
  
  
  
  
  Mark for Archiving:
  
  Once the validity period has been adjusted, you can then attempt to mark the transport rate for archiving again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing the validity period, consult your SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
