• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES223 - One dimension must be a multiple charge type ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES223 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of charge types in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, the error message states that "One dimension must be a multiple charge type." This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a charge calculation that involves dimensions (like weight, volume, etc.) and the system expects one of those dimensions to be defined as a multiple charge type.
  Cause:
  
  Charge Type Configuration: The charge types involved in the calculation may not be set up correctly. One of the dimensions (e.g., weight or volume) needs to be defined as a multiple charge type, which allows for the calculation of charges based on multiple units of measure.
  Incorrect Assignment: The charge types assigned to the transportation charges may not be compatible with the dimensions being used.
  Missing Settings: There may be missing settings in the configuration of the charge types or the transportation charges.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Charge Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for charge types in TMS.
  Ensure that at least one of the dimensions involved in the charge calculation is set as a multiple charge type.
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and checking the settings under the Transportation Management section.
  
  
  
  Review Charge Assignments:
  
  Verify that the charge types assigned to the transportation charges are appropriate for the dimensions being used.
  Make sure that the charge types are correctly linked to the relevant dimensions.
  
  
  
  Adjust Calculation Schema:
  
  If you are using a calculation schema, ensure that it is correctly defined and that the dimensions are properly assigned to the charge types.
  
  
  
  Testing:
