• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCC_MSG394 - Start: Eval. precondition rule &1, check applicability ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCC_MSG394 typically indicates that there is an issue with the evaluation of a precondition rule in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This message suggests that the system is unable to check the applicability of a specific precondition rule during the execution of a transportation process.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The precondition rule may not be properly configured or may be missing in the system.
  Data Issues: There could be missing or incorrect data in the relevant master data (e.g., transportation lanes, shipping points, etc.) that the precondition rule relies on.
  Rule Logic: The logic defined in the precondition rule may not be valid or may not cover the current scenario being processed.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to access the data or execute the rule.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the precondition rules in the TMS. Ensure that the rules are correctly defined and activated.
  
  Navigate to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and check the settings under Transportation Management.
  
  
  
  Validate Master Data: Ensure that all necessary master data is complete and accurate. This includes checking transportation lanes, shipping points, and any other relevant data that the precondition rule may depend on.
  
  
  Review Rule Logic: If you have access to the rule definitions, review the logic to ensure it is correctly set up to handle the scenarios you are testing. You may need to adjust the conditions or actions defined in the rule.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the transaction and access the relevant data. This may involve checking user roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools to trace the execution of the precondition rule and identify where the failure occurs.
