• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES243 - Validity period &1 - &2 status has to be released to be archived ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES243 indicates that there is an issue with the validity period of transportation rates in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module. Specifically, it suggests that the status of the specified validity period (from &1 to &2) must be released before it can be archived.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you attempt to archive transportation rates that are still in a status that does not allow for archiving. The status of the validity period must be set to "Released" or another appropriate status that permits archiving.

  Check the Status: Identify the status of the validity period for the transportation rates in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP TM where the rates are maintained.

  Navigating to the transportation rate management area.
  Finding the specific validity period (from &1 to &2).
  Changing the status to "Released" or the appropriate status that allows for archiving.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Archiving: Once the status has been updated, you can attempt to archive the transportation rates again.
