• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES216 - Only one dimension can have a scale item with no value ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES216: Only one dimension can have a scale item with no value typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when dealing with rate determination or scale items. This error indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the scale items defined for a rate or pricing condition.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Scale Items Without Values: The error arises when there are multiple dimensions (e.g., weight, volume, distance) defined in a rate or pricing condition, and more than one of these dimensions has a scale item that does not have a value assigned. SAP allows only one dimension to be defined without a value, as it can lead to ambiguity in rate determination.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the rate or scale items may not adhere to the expected structure, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Scale Items: Check the scale items defined for the relevant rate or pricing condition. Ensure that only one dimension has a scale item without a value. If multiple dimensions are found without values, assign appropriate values to them.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If necessary, adjust the configuration in the SAP TM system:
  
  Go to the relevant rate or pricing condition in the configuration.
  Review the scale items and their values.
  Ensure that only one dimension is left without a value, or assign values to all dimensions as required.
  
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the rate determination process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
