• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES244 - Validity period &1 - &2 for rate table is marked for archiving ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES244 indicates that the validity period for a rate table in the Transportation Management System (TMS) is marked for archiving. This typically means that the data you are trying to access or use is no longer available for processing because it has been archived, which is a common practice to manage data volume and maintain system performance.
  Cause:
  
  Archiving Process: The rate table data has been archived as part of a data management strategy. This is often done to free up space in the database and improve performance.
  Validity Period: The specific validity period you are trying to access is outside the range of active data, meaning that the rates for that period have been archived.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Archiving Settings: Review the archiving settings in your SAP system to understand the criteria used for archiving rate tables. This can usually be found in the customizing settings for TMS.
  Restore Archived Data: If you need to access the archived data, you may need to restore it from the archive. This typically requires the use of transaction codes related to data archiving (e.g., SARA) and may involve working with your SAP Basis team.
  Adjust Validity Period: If possible, adjust the validity period for your rate table to fall within the range of active data. This may involve creating new rate entries for the required period.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to TMS and archiving for specific guidance on handling archived rate tables.
