• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES781 - CanÆt have min. value for non-numeric same scale w/ ôAbsoluteö calc. ty. ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_RATES781 typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an issue with the configuration of rate types, particularly when dealing with minimum values and calculation types.
  Cause:
  The error message indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the rate type settings. Specifically, it suggests that you are trying to set a minimum value for a non-numeric scale while using an "Absolute" calculation type. In SAP TM, certain calculation types expect numeric values, and if a non-numeric scale is used, it leads to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Rate Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the rate type that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the scale used for the rate type is appropriate for the calculation type you have selected. If you are using an "Absolute" calculation type, make sure that the scale is numeric.
  
  
  
  Adjust Minimum Value:
  
  If the scale is indeed non-numeric, you will need to either change the scale to a numeric one or remove the minimum value setting for that rate type.
  
  
  
  Review Calculation Types:
  
  Verify that the calculation type aligns with the scale type. If you need to use a non-numeric scale, consider using a different calculation type that supports it.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration settings, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on setting up rate types and scales correctly.
