• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES190 - Unit of measure is irrelevant for the calculation base &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES190 indicates that there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) used in the context of transportation rates in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module. Specifically, the message states that the unit of measure is irrelevant for the calculation base specified.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure: The unit of measure assigned to the transportation rate or the calculation base does not match the expected values. For example, if the calculation base is set to a weight-based measure but the UoM is set to volume, this mismatch can trigger the error.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the transportation management settings, particularly in the rate determination or calculation base settings.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the master data, such as the material master or the transportation lane settings, where the UoM is not aligned with the expected calculation base.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Calculation Base: Review the calculation base that is being used in the transportation rate. Ensure that the unit of measure associated with it is appropriate for the type of calculation being performed.
  
  
  Verify Unit of Measure Settings: Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP TM and verify the unit of measure settings for the transportation rates. Ensure that the UoM is correctly defined and relevant for the calculation base.
  
  
  Review Master Data: Check the master data related to the materials, transportation lanes, and any other relevant entities to ensure that the UoM is consistent and correctly defined.
  
  
  Adjust Rate Determination: If necessary, adjust the rate determination procedure to ensure that the correct UoM is being used for the calculation base.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the configuration of transportation rates and units of measure.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the transportation rates are calculated correctly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Training and Documentation: Consider reviewing training materials or documentation related to SAP TM, particularly focusing on rate determination and unit of measure settings.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
