  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES164 indicates that you are trying to maintain rate tables in the Transportation Management System (TMS) while incremental scales are being used. This situation arises when the rate table is set up to use incremental scales, which means that the rates are defined in a way that they depend on the quantity or distance, and the system does not allow certain types of modifications to be made to these tables.
