• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES280 - No capacity dimension specified; FCL or FTL scenario assumed ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES280 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of transportation rates in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) system. Specifically, it suggests that no capacity dimension has been specified for the transportation scenario, which defaults to Full Container Load (FCL) or Full Truck Load (FTL).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Capacity Dimension: The error typically arises when the system expects a capacity dimension (like weight, volume, or quantity) to be defined for the transportation rate, but it is not provided.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the transportation rate setup, where the necessary parameters for capacity are not defined.
  Data Inconsistency: The data related to transportation rates might be incomplete or inconsistent, leading to the system not being able to determine the appropriate capacity dimension.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transportation Rate Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the transportation rate configuration in SAP TM.
  Ensure that the capacity dimensions (like weight, volume, etc.) are properly defined for the relevant transportation rates.
  If you are using FCL or FTL scenarios, make sure that the settings reflect this and that the necessary parameters are filled in.
  
  
  
  Define Capacity Dimensions:
  
  If you are working with specific transportation scenarios, ensure that you define the capacity dimensions explicitly in the rate configuration.
  Go to the relevant customizing settings in SAP TM and specify the required capacity dimensions.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data related to the transportation units (like vehicles, containers, etc.) to ensure that they have the correct capacity dimensions defined.
  Ensure that the transportation lanes and routes are also configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transportation rate determination process to ensure that the error does not occur again.
