• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCC_HL_MSG323 - Matching prev. scale items must be relative for clipping in rate table &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCC_HL_MSG323 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the rate table in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, it suggests that the scale items in the rate table must be defined as relative for clipping to work correctly.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  Scale Items Configuration: The scale items in the rate table are not set up as relative. In SAP TMS, scale items can be defined as absolute or relative. Clipping requires that the previous scale items are relative to ensure that the calculations can be performed correctly.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data entered in the rate table, such as incorrect values or formats that do not align with the expected configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Rate Table Configuration:
  
  Go to the rate table configuration in SAP TMS.
  Verify that the scale items are defined as relative. If they are set as absolute, you will need to change them to relative.
  
  
  
  Adjust Scale Items:
  
  If you find any scale items that are not relative, modify them accordingly. Ensure that the previous scale items are also set as relative if they are part of the clipping process.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Consult the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly configure scale items in rate tables.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the rate table to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the calculations are performed correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Support:

  Related Information:
  
  SAP TMS Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for Transportation Management to understand the configuration of rate tables and scale items.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums where other users may have encountered similar issues and can share their solutions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes (e.g., /SCMTMS/RT for rate tables) that can help you navigate the TMS configuration.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and ensure that your rate table is configured correctly for clipping.
