• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_SCALE031 - Scale base &1 supports scale type "Same-scale" only ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TC_SCALE031 indicates that there is an issue with the scale base configuration in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, it states that the scale base you are trying to use supports only the "Same-scale" type, which means that it cannot accommodate different scales or types of measurements.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  You are trying to use a scale base that is configured to accept only "Same-scale" measurements, but the data you are inputting involves different scales or types.
  There may be a mismatch between the scale type defined in the configuration and the scale type being used in the transaction or process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Scale Base Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the scale base in the SAP TMS.
  Verify that the scale base is set up correctly and supports the required scale types for your operations.
  
  
  
  Use Compatible Scale Types:
  
  Ensure that the data you are entering or the transactions you are processing are using the same scale type as defined in the scale base configuration.
  If you need to use different scales, consider creating a new scale base that supports multiple scale types.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Data:
  
  Check the transaction data that is causing the error. Make sure that all relevant measurements and weights are consistent with the scale type defined in the scale base.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on scale base configurations and the implications of different scale types.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configuration and data, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
