• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES224 - Rate table must allow multiple charge types ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES224 Rate table must allow multiple charge types typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an issue with the configuration of rate tables. This error indicates that the rate table you are trying to use does not support multiple charge types, which is a requirement for the operation you are attempting to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Rate Table Configuration: The rate table you are using may be configured to allow only a single charge type. In SAP TM, rate tables can be set up to handle multiple charge types (e.g., freight, surcharges, discounts), and if the configuration does not allow this, the error will occur.
  Incorrect Rate Table Assignment: The rate table assigned to a transportation charge may not be appropriate for the charge types being applied.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data or settings related to the rate table or the charge types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Rate Table Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the rate table in SAP TM.
  Ensure that the rate table is set up to allow multiple charge types. This can usually be done in the rate table definition where you specify the allowed charge types.
  
  
  
  Modify Rate Table:
  
  If the current rate table does not support multiple charge types, consider creating a new rate table that does or modifying the existing one to include the necessary charge types.
  
  
  
  Review Charge Type Assignments:
  
  Check the assignments of charge types to the rate table. Ensure that the charge types you are trying to use are compatible with the rate table.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for Transportation Management to understand the requirements for rate tables and charge types.
