Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES320 - Item &1: Specify the calculation date type for calculation base &2. ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES320 typically occurs in the context of Transportation Management (TM) when there is an issue with the configuration of calculation base types for freight rates. This error indicates that the system requires a specific calculation date type to be defined for the calculation base being used.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a defined calculation date type for the specified calculation base. In SAP TM, calculation bases are used to determine how freight costs are calculated, and each calculation base must have a corresponding calculation date type to ensure that the system can correctly compute rates based on the relevant date.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to perform the following steps:
  
  
  Access the Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and navigate to the customizing settings for Transportation Management.
  You can typically find this under SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistics Execution -> Transportation -> Basic Transportation Functions -> Freight Rate Management.
  
  
  
  Define Calculation Date Types:
  
  Look for the section related to freight rate management or calculation bases.
  Check the configuration for the calculation base that is causing the error (indicated by &2 in the error message).
  Ensure that a calculation date type is assigned to this calculation base. If it is not, you will need to create or assign an appropriate calculation date type.
  
  
  
  Assign Calculation Date Type:
  
  If a calculation date type does not exist, you may need to create one. This involves defining the logic for how the date should be calculated (e.g., based on the order date, delivery date, etc.).
  Once the calculation date type is defined, go back to the calculation base configuration and assign the newly created calculation date type.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by attempting to perform the action that previously resulted in the error.
  Ensure that the system now processes the calculation base without generating the error message.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on Transportation Management and freight rate configuration.
  Transaction Codes: You may find transaction codes like /SCMTMS/TC_RATES useful for managing freight rates and related configurations.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP Community for further assistance.
  
  By ensuring that each calculation base has a corresponding calculation date type, you can prevent this error from occurring in the future.
