• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCCS167 - Item &1: Rate table deriv. rule and item calc. rule should not co-exist ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCCS167 Item &1: Rate table deriv. rule and item calc. rule should not co-exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is a conflict in the configuration of rate determination for a transportation item. This error indicates that both a rate table derivation rule and an item calculation rule are defined for the same item, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Conflict: The error arises when both a rate table derivation rule and an item calculation rule are assigned to the same transportation item. SAP TM does not allow both rules to be active simultaneously for a single item because they serve different purposes in the rate determination process.
  Incorrect Setup: This can happen due to incorrect configuration in the rate determination settings or during the creation of transportation items.

  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that only one type of rule is assigned to the transportation item. Here are the steps to do that:

  Modify Rules:
  
  Decide which rule you want to keep based on your business requirements.
  If you want to use the rate table derivation rule, remove the item calculation rule from the item configuration, or vice versa.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transportation item again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
