• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES459 - Charge type and validity are from different charge line items ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES459 indicates that there is a mismatch between the charge type and the validity period of the charge line items in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This typically occurs when you are trying to create or process a charge calculation that involves multiple charge line items, and the system detects that they do not align correctly in terms of their charge types or validity periods.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatched Charge Types: The charge line items may have different charge types that are not compatible with each other.
  Validity Period Issues: The validity periods of the charge line items may not overlap or may be set incorrectly, leading to conflicts.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in TMS that are not set up correctly, causing the system to reject the combination of charge line items.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when creating or modifying charge line items can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Charge Line Items: Check the charge line items involved in the transaction. Ensure that they have the same charge type and that their validity periods overlap.
  Adjust Validity Periods: If the validity periods do not match, adjust them so that they are consistent across the charge line items.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in TMS related to charge types and validity periods. Ensure that they are set up correctly to allow for the intended combinations.
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks to prevent mismatched charge types and validity periods from being entered in the first place.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on charge types and validity periods in TMS.
